And all the reasons why she couldn't act were just rationalization. I think even she knows that.
She should, especially after everything she's done since then - breaking the Grey Council, and accepting her own role in what happened to G'Kar's people when she chose not to act, especially. In Atonement, it's like she gets close to admitting what she did (and refusing to let Lennier give her an excuse) and really facing up to what that means - and then she forgets about it in favour of "Ha, here's a reason for why they can't stop me getting married to Sheridan!"
About Lennier - that line is why I think he was an Oblate - the medieval term for a child given to a monestary. It happened a lot to youngest children. Althoug usually they weren't given quite at birth, there's no reason why one couldn't be.
Yeah, I suppose it could still work - and those children were given very young, weren't they? (I'm mostly going from half-forgotten history lessons plus the annoying small amount of information Google gave me, though...) So there isn't that big a leap between, say, a five-year-old and a baby in terms of how useful they'll be to the community until they're older, and if the one system could work, then probably the other could too. Plus, aliens, so manouvering space.
I'm trying to work out what this would mean for Lennier in terms of his family, and how much he would have known them, and what it would have meant to him to lose some of them in the war, and why he never talks about his past. It's proving tougher than I thought it would, though. Don't suppose you have any ideas? *looks pitiful*
