Anyone remember how everyone you talked to had a real problem with how Waco went down? Remember how after that, even the slimmest of bean counters was almost interested in hearing more?
Then BOOM OKC went down.

This was and is no mistake. Sheep scare easily, and the spin doctors working on behalf of a guilty government knew it. Regardless of what, where, when, how or why...they changed the connotation of the word militia in a matter of moments.
He was not even a member of a militia, but when people here militia, they here OKC...and when they hear OKC, they hear the cries of dead babies.
McVeigh believed what he was doing was justified and necessary. But did he do it to avenge Waco, or put out the flames it started? Was he one of us or them? I don't think he even knows...one thing is for certain, he is going to die. But what dies with him, what really died the day the building blew up, is a far greater loss to this country than any of the innocents on either side of the Waco/OKC atrocities.
I will still say a prayer for McVeigh the day he is put to death, but NOT because I think he was right.
