That guy on the island observing the battle between Kira and Athrun? How in the world did he get to the PLANTs so fast?
Seemed like it had been one day, or even just a several hours. Power of the time skip I guess. |

She thought marrying would retain Orb's independence & ideals, but reluctantly admitted that it wouldn't change the direction of Orb's foreign policy after Kira kidnapped, and confronted her about the issue. Quote:

As for another comparison to UC/Turn A, isn't Lacus/Meer relationship supposed to be loosely based on the relationship between Puru/Puru Two and Dianna/Kihel? I'll admit that I haven't seen their respective shows?

While Dianna and Kihel assumed each others' identity (mostly due to mutual agreement and prearrangement), they weren't doing so on the expense of their own. Meer on the other hand... - Tak

Just because Cagalli was this pro-action girl in SEED doesn't mean that she should suddenly be great in politics. |

Moreover, the fleet that attacked her was doing nothing more than following orders. Why should they have behaved otherwise, especially when the current leader of Orb was no longer Cagali? When George Bush declared war on Iraq in 2003, there were a lot of opposition, but did that amount to a mutiny against the government? No. Quote:
Second, while her situation was indeed different from SEED, she lacked the willpower she once possessed. Whatever fire she once had, she lost it in GSD. She cried and cried and cried, but never decisively resolved her own dilemma. There were many ways for her to counter the situation, but Morosawa decided she should just cry instead. For example, if she had the same fiery resolve she once had, she would have busted Yuna into bits during their first encounter in battle. I can almost guarantee you the military would immediately shift heir allegiance. - Tak

And what about the events leading to this encounter? Cagali had many opportunities even before Orb decided to shift their foreign policy to set things right. Yet, she repeatedly kept her friends and allies out of the loop. Her being in a different position in DESTINY does not offer an excuse for this to happen. - Tak

You stated that Orb was attacked for its neutrality, and I am simply stating siding with either side would not have made much of a difference in the eventual outcome.
So the Seirans supported the EA, what happened? An attack by ZAFT that destroyed Orb (again) until Kira & co. came to the rescue. Quote:

If it were really so, then resolving problems in China and Lybia were child's play, also. Just kidnapping the leaders and punch them half to death, then their country will knee on you. I will leave it to others to argue. I guess even a crap like Yuna still has some supporters. |

Rule number 1, never take Gundam politics seriously.
Quote:
As for China, what? Is there a popular uprising in China? Did I miss something? I find it peculiar that you are comparing China to Lybia, totally different playing fields, bud. Although if the populace managed to get their hands on Muammar Gaddafi, then yeah, the uprising would be over. - Tak
