[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2834266, member: 15253"] There seems to be some confusion between what Koresh "wanted" to happen, and what actually happened. Did Koresh "want" to be burned to death with his followers? No, he did not. The crucial point is that he expected to triumph at Waco. He believed himself to be the Second Coming incarnate, and therefore able to lead his "forces" to victory in a cosmic battle of good vs. evil. He fully believed that he would fulfill End Times prophecy (as he understood it) and that he would triumph in the end. He was an apocalyptic nutcase whose fantastic view of his place in the cosmic scheme of things was fatally flawed. It is unfortunate that he convinced others to believe with him in this fatally flawed vision, but that is what happened. [/QUOTE]
