As expected, the drop of Junius Seven has reignited the
Natural-Coordinator conflict and set off another war. ZAFT manages
to win this first round thanks to the Neutron Stampeder. The
Alliance certainly doesn't waste any time pulling out their nuclear
weapons. Director Mitsuo Fukuda stated that he wanted DESTINY to
incorporate events from the current global political situation, and
there are some amazing parallels. The drop of Junius Seven
corresponds perfectly with the terrorist attack of September 11,
2001. The resulting wave of anti-Coordinator hatred is similar to
the anti-Arab sentiments seen after 9/11. The President of the
Atlantic Federation (in Washington D.C.) quickly declares ZAFT a
threat to mankind and rushes into war. The Alliance then uses a
"Shock and Awe" attack on Aprilius One in an attempt to decapitate
ZAFT's leadership. This is quite similar to the start of the Second
Gulf War in early 2003. With the "War on Terror" still a very
current event, we'll have to see if the conflict in DESTINY
continues to parallel it.
