My bad on misunderstanding Jakensama. Sorry Chain Cersei's extreme measures serve only to cause more problems than they solve though. The abuse she has suffered is tragic but at what point should she be held accountable? I understand how individuals scarred by experiences can or will act in ways to take back the power or dignity that has been taken from them, but Cersei is not like most victims hundreds of thousands of people are influenced or directly affected by her choices. She is in a position where she could, and so far has, strike back at the people who slight in her no matter the degree or manner. She is a woman stuck between a rock and a hard place and for that she has sympathy from me. However how many innocent will suffer at her hands because she suffered? Her love and concern for her children may be a laudable characteristic but if it comes at the cost of a nation is it justified to pursue her course and damn that cost? These questions may be repugnant to any normal mother but she is queen regent she should and must ask them. Furthermore the things she wants for her children and the lengths she goes for them it could easily be said she would vicariously enjoy what she provides. The old saying of a mother's happiness is her children's makes me shiver when I think of her.
