					DUKAT (Cont'd) 
			You're not a man who hesitates to 
			make snap judgements when the 
			situation calls for it. It's one 
			of the signs of a good commander.

	Dukat leans forward, a hard edge creeping into his 
	voice and menace starting to show in his body language.

					DUKAT
				(continuing) 
			I'm asking for your opinion of me. 
			I find it hard to believe that you 
			don't have one.

					SISKO
			All right. I think you're right. 
			You have been judged unfairly. 
			I've judged you unfairly. But, 
			in retrospect, I think you 
			probably had a good reason for 
			everything you did on Bajor.

	It's exactly what Dukat wanted to hear and for a 
	moment, he seems pacified by that response.

					DUKAT 
			Yes! Yes, that's it exactly! I 
			had good reasons! And some of the 
			harsher actions I took were forced 
			on me by Central Command. I
			wanted to use entirely different 
			tactics with the Bajorans -- I 
			wanted to rule with a softer hand, 
			but my superiors didn't see it 
			that way.

					SISKO
			You were a soldier and you had to 
			carry out your orders.

					DUKAT 
			Precisely.

	Kira starts laughing.

					KIRA
			You're such a fool.
