Yeah, I suppose this argument could be made about any series taking place in
UC, but the over-zealousnes of the Zeon is what places them just on the
other side of the good guy/bad guy line. Should they have been granted their
independance? Sure, they have every right to be upset, but dropping two
colonies (even if only one of those caused any major harm), is way out of
bounds.
Whenever I watch anything based in UC, I try to keep both sides of the story
in mind. The good guy/bad guy labels aren't based on who's more in the
right, but who's more in the wrong. And *that* is a label the Zeon have
earned with aplomb.
