[QUOTE]Originally posted by Blue387: [QB] I'm doing some speculation here on Romulan governance. There's an interesting article by David Sanger in today's New York Times on Iran and I was thinking that some of the items mentioned could apply to Iran: repressive government and a strong military who are inextricably intertwined and if one fails, both collapse. I could argue that the Romulans spend great amounts on their military because it is the most important element in their society, defending the empire, protecting the regime and ensuring stablility. However, their withdrawal from interstellar affairs is not a sign of strength but of weakness. Perhaps the Romulans are not prepared to fight a long, sustained campaign after decades of being reduced to a defensive force; if they were so strong in the military, they would have launched a war against the Federation decades ago and not resort to duplicity, espionage or proxies.
