Waco was one disgraceful incident in recent US history. There have been
others, but the US is not a totalitarian state. The Waco thing happened
almost 10 years ago; the ban on music in Afghanistan (along with numerous
other disgraces) is happening right now. So you can get worked up about what
happened to a bunch of naive cultists who maintained a small arsenal (why?),
or write a few letters. Take your pick.
