[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] One should note that Dougherty is clearly arguing that Arabs*=World Leaders => Good Thing (as compared to Arabs=Petty Thugs), and Romulans=Empire => Good Thing. In sequitur, he seems to be arguing that Son'a=Something Greater Than Thugs => Good Thing, too. Otherwise, his tirade would do little to further his cause. So it would appear he actually advocates the Romulan acquisition of warp drive as a good thing. It somehow allows the Feds to "handle" the Romulans better, in Dougherty's logic. This would be an odd argument if the introduction of warp launched the Romulan war against Earth - both because Romulan War =! Good Thing and because the thugness (or any other aspect) of the Romulans would not have been known to the Earthlings before the war. It would be less odd if the introduction of warp did happen after the war, though. Which would necessarily place it at TOS (or later) and thus at the "century before" timepoint that Picard speaks of, right? The emergence of the Romulans from their Zone, and the existence of close ties by ST6:TUC, would be the "handling" Dougherty refers to. And whatever soured the relations later on, perhaps this Tomed thing, would be what Picard is reminding him of. Timo Saloniemi *) Of course, Doughtery could also be speaking of something like Rockefeller or the Russian mafia here... [/QB][/QUOTE]
