Technically speaking, Athrun only deserted from ZAFT the two times when he realized that it no longer upheld the principles that he signed up for. Given that he did so both times in Lacus' favour, and that PLANT and ZAFT appear to have had a change of ownership, I don't think that it's much of an issue. Also remember that all of Lacus' PLANT supporters still wore their ZAFT uniforms; it's unlikely that any of them will be considered traitors by ZAFT's new command.

Why do you think that? I thought that it was pretty clear that PLANT would have little to do with Earth politics. Indeed, the major player on Earth should be Orb and it's immediate allies.

I dunno... I think that SEED's geopolitics make much more sense than those in most of the other Gundam shows. Strictly speaking, it's not horribly realistic, but then again, there aren't exactly a whole lot of anime with realistic politics either. Then again, that's a subject for a different thread...
