OKLAHOMA NOT WACO

Why is it the paper does not emphasize the fact that Waco relates in no way to the bombing in Oklahoma City? The people in Waco could have walked away. The police pleaded with them to come out of the building. It was their own arsenal that blew them up.

The terrorists who bombed the federal building in Oklahoma are backed by people who refuse to vote. In this greatest country in the world, voting assures the public that they choose their government officials by ballot, not by destruction because of personal gripes.
