Keeve, Jean-Luc Picard and others in “Unfinished Business”

I cannot condone violence against people who are not our enemy.

Jean-Luc Picard

Then I don't understand why you're unwilling [to help us].

Because... you're innocent bystanders. You were innocent bystanders for decades as the Cardassians took our homes. As they violated and tortured our people in the most hideous ways imaginable. As we were forced to flee.

Picard

We were saddened by those events, but they occurred within the borders of the Cardassian Empire.

And the Federation is pledged not to interfere with the internal affairs of others. How convenient that must be for you. To turn a deaf ear to those who suffer behind a line on a map.

Picard

Well, I'm not here to debate Federation policy with you, but I can offer you assistance.

Simply because of one terrorist attack? Well, perhaps I should have known, we should have attacked the Federation long ago.
