{VIDEO POST}

[Have an Azula wearing red harem pants and a loose tunic-style shirt (this is video because she wants to show off her new clothes, OF COURSE), and looking to be in a better mood than she's been in recently (NO MORE WHINING, YAY)]

So as it turns out, I did go shopping last weekend. It wasn't as difficult as I had expected to find Earth-style clothes that I like, and I suppose--

[Suddenly Rachel starts making some cute happy gurgling noises offscreen; Azula gives the crib a quick, slightly irritated glance]

Hush.

As I was saying, I suppose it makes sense to wear Earth clothing during the times that I'm on Earth; I was getting quite sick of people asking me if I was dressed up for a play. And they never seemed to like the answers I ga--

[And she's cut off again, this time by herself, as she starts to sneeze six, seven, eight times in rapid succession]

... Ugh. That's disgusting.

I hate critics who don't know what they're talking about.

The only experience you have with me is over this community. You don't know about my laws, or my policies, or my beliefs. All you really know is that I'm fighting a war.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So you don't like one of my policies, and in your mind, that means I'm completely incompetent in every way?

You really know nothing about government or governing.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't use war to govern my people.

You're really just proving your ignorance here; you shouldn't say things when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

And that means that you have a problem with how I apply my policies, not the policies themselves. For all you know, you'd be in complete agreement with the way I run things, but you just wouldn't like the idea of me trying to bring the other nations under that rule.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

In and of itself? No, it isn't. It's a means to an end.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Right, I'm the ignorant one.

Conquest is foreign policy. War is a means to achieve that.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

War is the act. Conquest is the idea. War is the carrying out of the policy of conquest.

Come back when you know what you're talking about, Kaito.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No I don't.

I do know what I'm talking about, because I'm the one living it.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Do you even know what the term "mutually exclusive" means? Because that is certainly not what I was doing.

The idea behind the war, whatever it may be, is the policy. The war itself is an act of carrying out that policy. How do you not understand this?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course we could use a different method to carry out our policy of conquest, but we don't. This was the one that was chosen by my great-grandfather over one hundred years ago, and I'm not about to just halt it without good reason.

It's not hurting as much as they think it is.
