When the lawmaker and the law-enforcer become the lawbreakers, it is the right and duty of the citizenry to meet force with force. In justifying their incineration of the Branch Davidians, U.S. governmental officials made much to do about the sinfulness and evil of David Koresh and his followers. But sinfulness and evil are not the same. Because it is impossible for us to be continually perfect, we are all sinners . . . . In other words, the evil attack others instead of facing their own failures. . . .
Evil people feel themselves to be perfect. . . .
Since the evil, deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. Strangely enough, evil people are often destructive because they are attempting to destroy evil. The problem is that they misplace the locus of the evil.
