In TNG, an admiral uses a convicted starfleet officer who is a Bajoran to find a Bajoran criminal (aka revolutionary) for the Cardassians. Also in TNG, the border treaty between Federation and Cardassian prompted Enterprise to remove colonies against their will. Of course that resulted in the mistreatment of former Federation colonies that prompted the rise of the Maquis.In DS9 the Dominion Threat prompted martial law on Earth, nearly installing an Admiral Leyton(sp?) to become President of the Federation.In the bombed Insurrection, an admiral conspired with a race whose agenda is to acquire a planet and its people, in exchange for not producing the ketracel-white needed for the enemy's Jem'Hadar soldiers, also to acquire cloaking technology from them if not from the Romulans.Even before that, in The Undiscovered Country small factions on both sides of the Federation and Klingon do not want the peaceful exchange between the two, so conspired to keep the status quo as enemies, ironic as it is.And let us not forget Section 13, a rogue agency who will do anything (even to bloody their own hand) to keep the Federation civilization alive. It is because of them they used lethal biological weapons against the Dominion, and despite pleas, the rest of the Federation Council chose not to help the enemies, even though this is not part of their doctrine to use biological weapons against threat.Federation, a utopia? Right, but at what cost?</blockquote>
