[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] [QUOTE] 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... [/QUOTE]Bomb[b]s[/b] , plural. Even if we accept the slightly facetious argument that the bombs prevented more casualites than they caused, it hardly justifies both. Besides, the Japanese were already a defeated people, we were already bombing their cities with impunity...hardly an immediate problem. It seems almost irrelevant (need a better word) to make the comparison, but the Federation really did face the threat of annihilation. They lost entire fleets, Betazed, and Earth itself was bombed (Apparantly a novelty even for Martok.....though Enterprise will soon show us otherwise). Though they probably didn't know about it, Weyoun did seem to favour the complete destruction of Earth for starters. Ultimately, this all doesn't seem to matter all that much. While the virus was an important story thread for Odo, the positive impact of the virus on the war seems....superfluous, and overshadowed by the Romulan entry into the war and the Cardassian rebellion.
