There's enough historical evidence to show that if people are deprived of something, they merely move on to the next best thing and it's business as usual. If you ban guns, knives will become more commonplace. If you ban the sale of alcohol, the mobs will take to bootlegging!
Nevertheless, as a historian this is an opportunity of a lifetime to record Adventus's exploits, for when all is said and done there is nothing from this which which should be striken from the historybooks!
An empire fell and now the survivors are fighting over the pieces. You're looking at the same tired stories humanity has played out since the dawn of time. We're just doing it with bigger guns now.
Actually... there is one thing I would like to ask of you...
[Aaaaand cue... a piece of paper and a pen?]
Unless I am mistaken, you are a man who has in fact lived for countless centuries, am I not? A man who has contributed to the advancement of history time and time again, even if the roles you played were only small ones!
STILL!
[He presses the materials closer to Njall.]
A man such as yourself has my utmost respect, and autograph would be considered a tremendous honor!
I am a man who's dedicated his life to archiving history, and a man with your appearance and mannerisms has shown up a number of times over the course of the long, long river of time itself!
Whoever wins, I hope it's over fast. I don't think the Earth could survive another long Federation/Zeon war.

One year.... being considered "long". How technology's advanced to make that happen...
Either way, the Federation also has to worry about its conflict with ZAFT as well.
Nevertheless! The surest and quickest way to end a war is to see to it that it never starts in the first place! Do you understand what I mean by that?

Did you actually need something from me or did you just want to talk about the nature of man?
