"McVey ... blew up a federal building...plain and simple...many of the victims were children..." l2

And there were child victims in the genocide at Mt. Carmel as well.
"I think he was amongs many who do fear the government and its long reaching arm into life of the people it governs...does that sound familiar???" l2

That theory presents a complicated personality profile for McVeigh.

If he "fear"ed "the government" then why did he serve in the U.S. military? With distinction?
If I feared the government, I wouldn't do that. Would you?

Ockham's Razor. I think McVeigh's attack was vengeance for the unpunished genocide.
And I believe if the government had held those responsible for the deaths at Mt. Carmel to account in court of law for the deaths, McVeigh would not have destroyed the Murrah federal building.
