break the Prime Directive?  Of course sneezing is a violation of
the Prime Directive. You're contaminating their ecosystem with
your alien germs!  To the Emissary role... yes you said it
yourself he discouraged it... at first. Later he didn't and
fully embraced it. That's text book interference.  The Tosk
incident wasn't a violation because he let him on the station.
It was interference when Sisko underhandedly help O'brien break
Tosk out so the Hunters wouldn't get him.  ITPM was textbook
internal interference. It doesn't matter that they had prior
conflicts with the Dominion, they weren't a part of the war at
that point, and Sisko and Garak underhandedly manipulated the
Romulan political system to force the Romulan Star Empire to
enter the war. Garak took it a step further but that was what
Sisko was setting out to do from the teaser of that episode. If
that's not internal interferen
