Now that's unfair, those were totally justified 'police actions'. Can't have those liberty-hating Commies get the best of us, can we?
That's right, the Klingons are all card-carrying Commies. If you put one on a Federation planet, they would choked on the sweet air of freedom.

These days the difference between 'police actions' and 'war' are very muddled. God forbid that a nation formally declare war on one of it's wordly (or cosmically if you prefer) neighbors fearing that honesty of one's actions will put you between a political rock and a social hard place.

-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
