[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] But the Federation did what it had to do....in fact, it might have been more Section 31 than it was the Federation so the Feds really cant be at completely at fault here for Odo to harbor his mistrusts... Besides, this brings up the same scenario Truman faced with the Japanese in WWII and using the Nuc. They NEEDED to end the war, and the NEEDED to do it now, because the casualities were becoming astronomical. Truman dropped the bomb, and brought an immediate solution to an immediate problem...it was that or face even a significantly larger number of casualities in an attempted invasion of the islands. Much the same, the Federation NEEDED to end the war, and Section 31 took it upon themselves to do it. The difference here, in this analogy is that what Section 31 did was not as immediate; it may have been genocide, but it HAD a cure and it was long term (vs. immediate). Ethics aside, each did what they had to do to have the upper hand or to win...be it cause a fatal virus, mine or attempt to collapse the wormhole, or destroy hundreds of ships, planets and colonies....thankfully the use of biogenics wasnt fulfilled. Keep in mind too, the Dominion was willing to destroy the Bajoran sun...that would have been genocide of the Bajoran ppl and probably half the KDF and the like... Odo may have been a pawn, but I think he understood the circumstances, or he wouldnt have participated in the final party...or been part of ANYTHING once he was cured... [/QB][/QUOTE]
