Give it a rest. The people inside had already murdered several BATF agents. They had every opportunity to release the children and allow them to get to safety. They had every opportunity to surrender.
Surrender to whom? To those that had fired upon their church when first approaching? Remember, the ATF fired *first*. [The ATF claimed they opened fire when they were shot at through the wooden front door from inside the church. The front door was made of solid steel. After burning all the worshippers inside, the ATF removed the front door and stored it in an evidence room. The door is listed on the evidence log. That's the last time anyone other than the feds has seen the door. When the survivers wanted to present the door in court to prove that the only bullet holes were from shots fired from the outside (the ATF), the door had vanished into thin air. To this day, the steel door can not be found.]
