[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 7567860, member: 710"] Is it really [I]ridiculously [/I]reckless? It might be reckless, but consider that you have to compare this recklessness with non-intervention being agreeing that regularly murdering Kelpians that get old enough, no questions asked, no chance given, and trap them forever in ignorance and fear of their eventual fate of being culled. I mean if the Ba'ul would have been willing to negotiate, it could have been avoided, but they weren't, so the choices were basically finding a way to force the issue, or let them keep murdering innocents for the forseeable future. The entire situation on the planet is overall not that bad - the Ba'ul presumably live a safe and good life in their own enclaves, and the Kelpian had a neat little life as well - except for the regular murdering of adult Kelpians, of course. Removing the murdering does not mean peace becomes impossible, in fact, it is actually a requirement for [I]genuine [/I]peace. We also have an example of what at least some Kelpian do when they find peace from their constant state of fear - they try to protect that state. That's what Saru did on Pahvo. He was willing to fight aggressively for it - but remember he fought for his peace, not for dominance, revenge, sports or hunting. The Kelpian people are likely going to do the same. And since the Ba'ul maintain the technological advantage, anything else would likely be fruitless, if not outright counter-productive. And the Federation stands ready to help them negotiate a peace.
