"I don’t find it that hard to believe that someone with Dukat’s enormous ego would want to be seen as the “savior” of the down-trodden Bajorans while at the same time never believing that they were his equals. He failed to understand that trying to make the Occupation a little more palatable wasn’t going to address the fundamental problem: The – Cardassians – Did – Not – Belong – There. The Bajorans wanted them to LEAVE, not increase the rations in the labor camps. Dukat DID believe them to be inferior and he said so in “Waltz.”"
