Yorick, I'll stop to argue... You seem to live in a Walt Disney when you talk about Humans, and you think we agree with the Yeerks who tortures their hosts... just because you think ALL the Yeerks torture their hosts... Nothing else to say.

But about the Yeerk peace movement, I saw also a little them like resistants during WW2 (may be because I'm French... I imagined them like that). I imagined they freed people, but also tried to botch some things... I don't know if they could easily fight like the Animorphs, because they need Kandrona...
And others things KA didn't write at the end:
- what's happen for the Yeerks after the war? will they live on Earth? will they truely have the morphing power?
- what's happen for the hosts who had the morphing power? some of them could use it to steal ;) or to look at the girls in bathrooms! lol
- many other things, I'm sure... but it's late, I'm tired ^_^' can't remember them...

I thought the YPM were like spies and gained information. I don't remember which book, but it was mentioned that the animorphs haven't gained any new info from the YPM.

I really would love to know what you'd do if you were at the construction site that night and given the morphing power and told of the invasion, Dameg?

How would you feel if you were on trial for the 'mass murder' of 'innocent' Yeerks by HUMANS after the end of the war?
This great evil - where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we mighta known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine?  Is this darkness in you, too?  Have you passed through this night?

well if I was with the animorphs in that situation, I would be like marco was at first. reluctant but doing it anyway. then later on I would hate it so much, that I'd probably quit. maybe even kill myself.

if I was on trial, I would say, "you're right. that's why wars are bad".

Too much peace, and you wind up getting squashed. Too much war, and you miss out on peace. It's important to build up a strong military force for protection, though it should always be used defensively. Never start a war, but always finish it.

I agree too, if ending the war is by peace, not by completely beating up the other guy.

You don't need to completely destroy the enemy to win. Or at least you shouldn't have to. Just weaken to the point where they become more open to the idea of peace.

I think you should only fight enough to weaken them, as Daphnes said, but without completely wiping them out.

My RPG character would beg to disagree, though...

Wow... no offence, but thats such a grim look on life... True, but grim.

But I stand with what I said before, it is impossible for every sentient being to be classified as "good" or "evil". After studying international law for a semester (and I admit, I know VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY little), and with my own personal bias.... I do think that Jake SHOULD at LEAST go on trial for the mass murder of Yeerks, regardless of the reason. Technically, it is a crime, at least in the most basic legal definition of one. *remembers lessons*

Well yes, there is some fighting involved in all wars. Even if it's just small skirmishes that eventually stop due to peace talks.
