Federal response to New Orleans was 'faster' than after Hugo and Andrew

George,

I'm pretty sure Dennis means the black helicopter/Waco/Ruby Ridge/New World Order crowd.

IMHO, you're both right. The far left and far right would have both been screaming their heads off.

Why? Please explain

Montana Militiamen and others. Part of Tim McVay's entire delussional reasoning for bombing OKC was that he thought that the U.S. Military would eventually start opperations on U.S. soil to deny folks their rights.

It is fun/scary how close the extremists on each end are to each others paranoia.

I guess I don't fit the mold of extremist then.

I happen to think the general prinicple of the mission to take out David Koresh and Co. was a good one. The operational plan and the rules of engagement placed law enforcement officers lives in needless jeopardy. The pre-raid intelligence was incomplete.

As far as the militia's are concerned, an armed militia hellbent on the overthrow of the US government, regardless of whether it is right, left or a switchitter, is dangerous and arguably illegal.

Forgive me for what I wrote earlier, just a little emotional with some of the comments.
