That's the thing, though. What is Reccoa's country? Or anyone else's country in Zeta (at least who was born in space)? You could argue that the entire Earth Sphere is one giant country at this point in time (since it's all officially ruled by the Federation). Or since the Federation's authority sometimes isn't all it's cracked up to be, you could argue that a Side is a nation. Or maybe it's the specific colony that you were born in. In which case, unless the specific colony or Side that you originally hail from is threatened, your example of a colony drop on my own country doesn't really apply. And no, I personally wouldn't bomb a nation I'd never heard of. But that wouldn't stop other people with lower moral standards from doing so. It certainly happens often enough throughout Gundam. In fact, the majority of the colony drops happen after Zeta (albeit off-screen) - many of them orchestrated by one of the leading figures of the AEUG. As for Benedict Arnold, he came from an era that had entirely different standards of conduct than what is shown in Zeta. So he would almost certainly never have become a mass murderer. Nor would any officer on either side of that war, no matter what Mel Gibson would have audiences believe. junior -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
