"I do not see how the internal structure of our nation would be of concern
to the Federation," A'amon replied, "Foreign governments have always
communicated with our T'remea, who then communicate with the governing body.
The Council was for the Venasian people, not the intergalactic community."
"Certainly you, of all beings, understand how sudden, and unexpected changes in
government make neighboring goverments nervous. Such changes, without the
courtesy of simple warning, are cause for great concern and tension. Far
lesser things have caused terrible wars....", Lasiter let the thought hang. He
couldn't believe that the General was still relying on that poor excuse. It
showed complete arrogance and a serious lack of respect not to have come up
with a better answer. All goverments let their neighbors know of great changes
in goverment. They were done in public. The change in the Venasian political
structure, seemingly overnight, was done in private. That supported the rumors
of a coup d'etat.
