*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE, KLINGON SCUM!! ***

My own two-bits on the matter: The political asylum is out; it would be a
too cautious retreat.  As for Sarek's pull, this could be helpful to Kirk
in ST IV.

However, something that comes to mind immediately is the section from
"Foundation" where Hober Mallow is on trial for treason -- after shattering
the charges, a charged-up mob ousts the mayor in favor of Mallow.  This 
leads me to believe that after Kirk destroys the opposition at the trial,
he could believably be put in charge of his own fleet, which leaves him in
a perfect position for the upcoming war with the Klingons.  My biggest 
problem now is what to do with the Organians!
