When the people in the Branch Davidian compound refused to come out, people hysterically demanded that the gov't attacked the compound. After the gov't attacked, people hysterically condemned the gov't.
I think people are reacting hysterically now to the searches, but the same people will react hysterically if there is a terrorist attack.
