Peter Merchant has hit it on the head exactly.  Doing a Klingon-Federation
war as an excuse for ST4 would drag Star Trek down to the level of Star
Wars.  This would be one of the few events that could possibly cause me
to want nothing to do with Star Trek ever after.  Star Trek has been about
people and ideas, usually noble ones at that.  I sincerely hope that
Paramount does not decide to let some misguided producer get childish
with Star Trek.  That would be such a waste.
