I think Rasa said "empathize" not "emphasize"...?

Marina and her supporters do have an alternative, it's just that Conservatives didn't want any of it as it goes against what they believe. The civil war that has erupted was a direct consequence of these actions (the UN solar plant engineers in Azadistan soil), and it's not just because they don't believe Marina...it's a part of it, I guess, but Conservatives could actually be taking up arms against invasion of their sovereignty or something, or just fighting off another chance of a foreign "invasion" to take control of their lives. Well, it must not be as noble as maintaining sovereignty or anything, they're more likely fighting foreign intervention because they don't want somebody to interfere with their traditions. This is my take on it.
SoldierOfDarkness has actually put up the major reason why the Conservatives want to challenge Marina...some people do not actually like change, and Rasa is there to make sure they won't do anything rash.
