The Waco compound was full of pedophiles. Everybody knew it. The people who still condemn the government for their action, knew it and still know it.
What were the authorities supposed to do...sit down at some fucking table and ask them nicely to stop raping 10 year old girls? The only way it was going to stop was to go in there forcibly and make it stop. What could the feds have done? Blockade the place and starve them out. Howell and his people were no different from Jim Jones and his people. As soon as they felt there was no way out of it the would have killed themselves and taken all the children with them. And they proved that when they set fire to the building.

And, even if the gov has every legal right, the gov doesn't need the bad press a violent confrontation would generate.
Edit.... My comment refers to the current situation.... Not Waco.
