Abstract
It is very difficult to give an opinion about the Waco tragedy: all news reports are subject to a dual interpretation, and each party defends its version with strong arguments. As an outsider, it's impossible to verify which report is false and which one is true. That's the reason why my personal commentary on the Waco tragedy can't be neutral: I tend to be more confident in the information given by State authorities than by members of the branch Davidians. Thus, I will defend the point of view that the way the FBI negotiated with David Koresh could surely have been better, but that the leader of the Mount Carmel did not really encourage other approaches because of his behavior...
