>The idea of "taking over your enemy's HQ means you win"
Is a recurring idea in Gundam, and would be true if the Alliance was caught unprepared and their biggest member lost a lot of military power and many officers in a surprise attack.

>What? This is blatantly false.
It's blatantly true. In the wake of Break the World, anti-ZAFT sentiment stirred, but was tempered by Durandal helping with disaster relief. It wasn't until Djibril spread photo evidence of (what he claims to be) ZAFT deliberately causing Break the World that people started calling for retribution. We see that the Alliance had been willing to accept that the terrorists were all dead, but then suddenly turns around and asks for the terrorists to be handed over.

>As I pointed out before, this is a "we don't have any other alternative but to cooperate".
If everybody in the EA wanted the PLANTs dead, why wouldn't they just keep at what they were doing until Requiem is active and annihilates the PLANTs?

>Lacus-faction PLANT
You mean anti-war PLANT. Anybody who is anti-war is naturally going to be a part of the anti-war faction. That's like complaining that all the people against the war in SEED or SEED Destiny join the anti-war faction there too.
>The Atlantic Federation is a member only nominally (they don't have any forces attached to Compass)
They take part in the battle against Foundation in the end.
