The Dominion: Xenophobic or Warrior Race?

[Dontai]

Did anybody ever noticed the hidden back side to the Dominion?

"Founders viewed the Tal Shiar and Obsidian Order as threats. So we helped push this plan forward in order to destroy them." (meaning they were their before, but for how long?)

that "The Tal Shiar and the Obsidian Order are both ruthless, efficient organizations, a definite threat to us." (self defense or first step in a invasion?)
"No, after today the only threat remaining to us from the Alpha Quadrant are the Klingons and the Federation. And I doubt either of them will be a threat for much longer." ( Did they even meet Klingons ? Yes, they infiltrated them, but for how long? what was real reason they wanted to attack the Federation? )



The dominion came to be xenophobic, and were feeling we invaded their territory, but what if they were just conquerors. Long before tal'shiar obsidian order alliance they had agent hidden away through all alpha quadrant races. If you think about it tal'shiar got to have a secret question and stuff. Some way letting you know who is who. so obviously Lovok changeling romulan in ...
[The die is cast] didn't replace any one. So if he didn't replace any one; how did he get in? I think he was sent to romulus to get tal'shiar to recruit him, so he could infiltrate them. which was a well thought out founder plan. They may have ben in are alpha quadrant for last hundred year.

I think they alwase had ben planning on attacking the alpha quadrent long before we even met bajorins. First step was to get the cardassain and romulans to attack them. It also explains why they they turned their back on cardassain. What if they ment to destroy cardassains all along. I think they would have destroyed breen aswell. I also don't think they believed or care about what odo said after the dominion war. I think this isn't over yet. What if their still planning on attacking again? I think their like sophisticated version of klingons, before TNG, violent savage race of blood thirsty warriors. This has just begun...

Throughout DS9 I got the impression that the Dominion (the founders) just wanted to be in control of all "solid" sentient life for two primary reasons. First, to defend themselves and second, to impose order upon a chaotic universe. They saw that the Alpha quadrant, with the Romulans, Klingons, Cardassians, and Federation, was basically in complete anarchy with no major power having dominance over another. The Dominion believed that the Alpha quadrant would be in perpetual conflict and disorder without ONE dominant all power force in control of it all, and to some degree there right.

Honestly though, I don't see how the Dominion was any more "evil" or "ruthless" than the Klingons, Cardassians, or Romulans. The only thing that seperated the Dominion was that they had the actual power to try to take over the alpha quadrant.
