Except the Seanchan are not spoiled chidlren who mistake "wishful thinking" for a plan

Although, I have to say I can't wait to read the Tuon point of view when her raiding party comes back and tells them about this one Aes Sedai who single handedly kicked all their asses! That should scare the heck out of her, especially if the ones she captured are able to say that was "only" a novice.
And it will take them about three seconds to learn about angreal, and they'll adapt, react and overcome. As for your previous post, maybe Rand COULD "cleanse" the Black Tower if someone could hand him a convenient list that does all the work for him, too. Here's something to consider - the Seanchan armies are USED to facing the One Power in battle. They won't crap their pants and run, they'll charge in to fight with their sul'dam and damane. What makes you think the Aes Sedai will operate in any sort of cohesive fashion to make an effective fighting force, or that the Asha'man should submit to their inferiors in combat? Note that at the Cleansing, the smallest circle which was led by an Asha'man, and a solo ex-damane were the most successful in routing the Forsaken, while the two largest circles, led by a Brown and a White, took casualties. When contemplating Aludra's dragons, Mat thinks they will be better than having channelers (who are more powerful, faster and more versatile than possibly even modern artillery) with an army, because Aes Sedai don't follow orders well, and he doesn't anticipate Asha'man being any better. Control over his channelers is vital for any general to use them effectively, and that is what the Seanchan have. A Seanchan general merely has to give an order to his sul'dam, and he gets his firepower. Rand, Mat and Perrin all have to phrase their requests nicely, hope the Aes Sedai decide to cooperate, and then wait for them to split hairs over Oath Rod technicalities. And you know they'll never agree to work with Asha'man unless they are in total control.
Given these factors, your scenario just might end rather badly for your arrogant Joint Tower deputation.

if he was it wasn't on purpose. I think he was just actively trying to use his ta'verenness *NM*

Actually, I think it's the other way around.

I don't care for Tuon at all. I'd be okay if her and the Seanchan were obliterated. *NM*

And how is that any different from me with Egwene (except she & I are the same race)? *NM*

Not at all. Their position is perfectly justified by their experiences.

The a'dam and leashing of channelers does not change the fact that the OP can be misued...

Which is why people should NOT be MORE angered toward Seanchan than toward WT.

And a generation later, the same old problem arises. New channelers, with no one to stop them.

Several valid points...

I wonder what if Egwene happen to be a child kidnapped at Flame and sent to WT

She will (and ya, sul'dam become sul'dam from age 13-18 usually) *NM*

I think the a'dam is the perfect solution for Blacks and the Shaido 'Wise Ones'.
