" Or do you reserve this derision just for BD's?"

No, I reserve it for the truly lunatic fringe. Koresh qualifies in spades.

"The government was out for blood.
And they got what they wanted"

Koresh was out for martyrdom ... and did not give a tinker's damn that he was taking women and children with him.  HE got what HE wanted.  The government got nothing but the hatred of the deluded who excuse lunatics like the Branch Davidians.  I had thought that had cooled, but apparently not.
