But that was shortly after DS9 had been taken over. The war went on much longer, with no convenient way of the Gamma-Dominion to talk to the Alpha-Dominion.

Still....I doubt there was any uprising on the gamma side of the Domion: the Founders wouldnt have sent anywhere close to half of their fleet into the Wormhole. THe Dominion had a long time to prepare for their eventual invasion before they decided to reveal their presence to the Federation.
Besides, with the exception of (mabye) one or two founders commanding the lost fleet, the Founders consider all those ships and crew expendable. That speaks of readily available rescources far greater that of the Federation.

It might also tie into the alternate universe events of TNG "All Good Things..." as well. The Romulans were conquered by the Klingons and the Federation and Klingons were at odds despite some medical exchanges in that timeline. The uniforms were also the same but that doesn't really mean anything.
Perhaps the Martok Changeling convinced the High Council to invade the Romulan Empire as depicted in AGT... It wouldn't be that hard to convince the Klingons that the Romulans were under Changeling control given the alliance between the Tal' Shiar and Obsidian Order orchestrated by the Changelings. With the Cardassians, Romulans, and the Wormhole under Klingon control and the alliance between the Klingons and Federation gone, they saw no need to invade the Alpha Quadrant. It was the potential for an alliance between the races that scared the Dominion, not the thought of fighting them one on one.
The Klingons don't seem to have the obsessive need to explore like the Federation does and would not need to violate the Gamma Quadrant line in the sand drawn up by the Dominion so the Changelings might not consider them a threat like they would the Federation. They might wait and bide there time trying to control the Klingons from within.

Well, just because the uniforms are the same doesn't mean that Sisko "died" (as seen in "Visitor") in the AGT timeline. Since the accident was corrected, wouldn't Q have sent Picard 25-years into the corrected (as opposed to the "uncorrected") future?

Q sent Picard to A future, but not necessarily to THE future. He was fooling around with time to teach him a lesson, after all.

No, but they do seem like the type who would take such a blunt "do not come here" message as a challange, and try and invade.

Just make up a radiation and say that anyone going through the wormhole dies an honorless death from it. What are they gonna do, research it? Ever see a Klingon in a lab coat and pocket protector? Didint think so.

Well, I used to WORK with a guy that dressed as a Klingon. Had the ridge head and everything. He caused our mainframe to go down so I drew a cartoon of a klingon holding a blaster aimed at one of our modules that was all melted. The caption was "Lucky shot, sir!"

He didint dress that way at work did he? The line between being facinated by an intresting TV show and having a compulsive disorder tend to blur once you see fans dressed up at conventions, speaking in made up languages and expecting a response other than "back the fuck off".

Well, he used Halloween as an excuse to wear it to work. I told everyone that I was coming as the Invisible Man. They wouldn't be able to see or hear me, but they should go ahead and mark my timecard that I was there.
It was actually kind of funny that year. I came to the bank in my normal attire. The president of the bank came as Abraham Lincoln. So, I walked over to his table at lunch and introduced myself as John Wilkes Boothe and left.

You turned up to a fancy dress day in regular clothes?
Have you no fun in your body at all?

Actually...there was a close call with that one Klingon scientist-chick (a la Capt. Garretts alter ego) who was studying the Ferengi metaphasic shield...

Kinda...she seemed knowledgable if not particularly helpful to the research.
I hereby condemn you to the blackest alleys of Dis for making me recall that sorry episode. Man: the victim is alive all along! What a shock. really. He was also stealthy enough to fool Crusher, sneak out of the morgue and onto a shuttle (so much for Worf's raise, huh?)...
Ug.
