I have the whole series on DVD and I've been watching season 2. The Narn/Centauri war just started and Earth refused to give the Narns official aid. Captain Sheridan (Well, JMS, really) said that "Governmnets deal in matters of convenience, not conscience" and also that when governments fall short, it's up to the rest of us to make up the difference. You can see why I was thinking about this.
