[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Indeed. The Section must have some sort of confidence in its predictive abilities, as was indicated by the actions against Romulans in "Inter Arma..." when the Dominion war wasn't showing signs of ending yet and the Romulans were still allies. Perhaps S31 masterminded the whole sequence of events, first blowing up Praxis (or conning the Romulans into doing that), then supporting both the assassination and Kirk's daring exposure of the conspiracy, all the time knowing that this would lead into the Klingons becoming allies. The more realistic way to interpret things is, of course, that S31 does things to see what happens, and then says "of course, we knew this would happen, and wanted it in the first place"... Perhaps S31 blew up Praxis first (a safe move that would not directly endanger the Federation) and waited what the Klingons and the Fed warhawks would do. When the hawks played themselves into a corner with the assassination, S31 took advantage of that and arranged for Kirk to expose the whole conspiracy, thus gaining the trust of the Klingons. Had the hawks won, or had Gorkon survived and made peace with the Feds, S31 would have come up with a way to make the best possible use of that. I cannot believe S31 would have maneuvered the Federation into a war deliberately. No matter how Col. West wanted to "clean the chronometers" of the Klingons, S31 must have known that a war with the still rather powerful Klingons would be very destructive to the UFP. Anything that weakens the UFP must be an antithesis of what S31 wants. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
