The Waco Massacre
13 Years Ago Today..." Around midday two U.S. military pyrotechnic devices were fired into the main building, igniting a fire which spread rapidly through the complex of buildings and became an inferno. 74 men, women and children died — including twelve children younger than five years of age. Fire trucks were prevented by the FBI from approaching the inferno. After the compound had burned down the BATF flag was hoisted aloft to signify 'victory'."
21 of the victims were children:
Sheila Martin, Jr. 15

Hey there,
The evil people at www.public-action.com won't let me see your picture. What am I missing?
Btw, your list of the children lost in the massacre reminds me a 4 year old neighbor I used to babysit and who used to wave at me from her window as I came home from school. She died in the Jonestown tragedy having never known kindergarten.
Egads! They are rather evil. That's what I get for using a Google image search in order to steal bandwidth.
Lighting the building on fire may have been a mistake, some even suggest it was done intentionally by the Branch Dividians, further more, the Dividians could have fled, but they choose to stay at their 'sacred' construction site and burn. Frankly, they had it coming. I don't dig the whole religious fanatic, i am the messiah, take 100 children as wives scene. ATF was just doing their job, which happens to be exterminating religious fanatics.
