Yesterday was the 10th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing in which the Murrah federal building was leveled by a bunch of diesel fuel and shit mixed together in a Ryder Van. This was the worst bombing in the United States since another nutcase blew up a school in Bath, Michigan over 50 years ago.
The Oklahoma City Bombing was a terrible thing to happen and many peoples' lives, including a lot of childrens', were lost in this attack. However, as Mad Ogre correctly points out, yesterday was also the 12 Anniversary of the federal governments act of terror against a religious sect living in Waco; this was the provocation for the Oklahoma City Bombing. In both tragedies there was a senseless loss of life (including dozens of children), but in some ways Waco was worse because instead of two whackos calling the shots, it was the government (especially Janet Reno) using its unlimited power to squash a few people who mainly wanted to be left alone.
Read Mad Ogre's post, he hits the nail on the head.
