11 years ago today, near Waco, Texas, a standoff between federal agents and Branch Davidians ended in a fire that destroyed their compound located in a rural area two miles outside of the city's limits. 19 men, 34 women and 23 children died that day.

Exactly one year later, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was blown up, killing 168 - including 19 children.

I mention this for all of you who feel that things were a lot better under President Clinton. Keep in mind that the first World Trade Center was treated a police matter by his administration. While many still argue that the current President was asleep at the wheel during 9/11, this would probably would not have been an issue if Clinton hadn't dropped the ball.

There must be something said about the ineffectual job done Janet Reno. You remember her, don't you? She was the one who ordered (at gunpoint) the return of Elián González to the freedom-loving government of Cuba.
