[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] OTOH, the Romulan war was probably the last time there had been a need to get the homefront to prepare for a war effort. The Borg and V'Ger and Whale Probe incursions were all so sudden and short that there *was* no homefront in these conflicts, even if they happened on Earth's backyard. The Klingon crisis in turn seemed to consist of minor clashes up until "Errand of Mercy", again something for which a homefron would not be established. And the Cardassian wars seemed to fall right into the same category. O'Brien spoke of them as "border wars", and people didn't seem to acknowledge them at all in early TNG even though a state of war apprently still existed until "The Wounded"! So even if the Romulan conflict was fought far, far away from Earth (and *especially* if it was fought far away), a homefront would have been formed, supporting a lengthy war effort. This might be a rather unique occurrence in Federation history. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
