It was, though more so in P.O.Z then in Kindara. Just before the current war it was more a thing that could possibly happen then anything that was seriously being planned. Popular opinion was not as against GA then as it is now that Arella seems to have stopped listening to anything resembling reality. Either that or Galiard is just that convincing, and I have to admit, he is charismatic.
Arella's fatal flaw is justness of a cause. The longer a war like this drags on, the more she's going to regret choosing pragmatism over principles. Sooner it all ends, the sooner she'll let it go and move on.
