But one thing he misses, even though Kirk stole the Enterprise, and disobeyed orders, he didn't intend to lose the Enterprise. Also the Klingons do not know that the Federation has captured a ship of theirs. I do not think that the Federation is going to state that fact to the Klingons. I wouldn't. I cannot see Mr. Merchant comparing the ST universe and the way they do things to current events. We were suppose to have evolved passed our warlike ways of today. The Klingons are highly intelligent beings (even though warlike) and do do rational things at times. So, I cannot buy Mr. Merchant's story. "DEATH TO ALL ZAEON PIGS" Michael N.
