Come to think of it, the last time military gear was used against civilians was 1994.

The President was Clinton. The Attorney General was Reno. And there was a little town called Waco...

Texas National Guard?

It is neat how freaked the right was about Clinton violating posse but it couldn't possibly be a problem with Bush. Of course Clinton only burned right-wing nuts so Bush is expected only to seek symmetry.
