Well DOH, Elaida is a bad ruler. And if you are talking about the SAS, they really have no reason to BE at all if the don't overthrow Elaida. So, yes that group, AS A WHOLE, is focused on deposing Elaida. That said, a significant number of AS in both groups have done good, beneficial things.

Individual Aes Sedai can and often do perform great acts. The Aes Sedai as a collective on the other hand, whether it's the united White Tower, Elaida's Tower, or the Salidar rebels, accomplish little. I would have to look into it all a bit more closely to be sure (perhaps during another reread) but it might even be fair to say that they do more harm than good.
I amuse myself.

You know... it feels like the Aes Sedai are pretty superflouous beetnemesis - 02/09/2009 09:48:19 PM 1379 Views
Y'know, the paralells betwen the Aes Sedai in the White Tower... vandevere - 02/09/2009 10:46:29 PM 933 Views
Well said. Hadn't really thought of it that way before *NM* Bryce - 03/09/2009 12:01:30 AM 555 Views
That is the inspiration for the Aes Sedai that RJ used - I can't find the article, though. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 02:39:14 PM 889 Views
When I was reading this I was thinking of the paralells between the white tower and Tashmere - 03/09/2009 02:47:33 AM 1165 Views
And yet the WT has been THE single greatest force for continuity and civilization. NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 03:37:14 AM 947 Views

Really? fionwe1987 - 03/09/2009 05:52:38 AM 886 Views
Re: Really? Corwin - 03/09/2009 06:03:13 AM 843 Views
So lets add a few more NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 11:42:48 AM 859 Views
most of these are accounted for above ranagrande - 03/09/2009 02:18:01 PM 930 Views
Just because we don't know all their names, doesn't mean their effectiveness on the Pattern was less RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/09/2009 03:19:41 PM 944 Views
But who did the work? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 05:37:00 PM 749 Views
While these are good, none of it is because of the White Tower beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:43:56 PM 776 Views
So if Elaida didn't order it, it doesn't count? NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 07:29:20 PM 791 Views
Actually I think that's his point ranagrande - 04/09/2009 01:40:37 PM 892 Views

Only one point because obviously your mind is made up. NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 06:13:23 AM 854 Views
well, yeah ranagrande - 05/09/2009 02:33:51 PM 885 Views
In that case, Rand, Mat, Perrin... all of them are superfluous. fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 03:03:07 PM 792 Views

No, fionwe1987 is absolutely right! ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:13:39 PM 737 Views
I'm glad the real world disagrees with you NaClH2O - 05/09/2009 05:05:50 PM 793 Views
I'm not convinced that it does ranagrande - 05/09/2009 05:44:10 PM 877 Views

I was talking about the WT specifically, and only during recent years. It's Gotta be the Shadow, beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:39:11 PM 787 Views
So what you are really saying is that if you ignore over 2/3rds of the AS the rest aren't doing much NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 06:07:23 PM 739 Views
I'm talking about the organization as a whole beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 10:07:37 PM 810 Views
No you are talking about Elaida NaClH2O - 03/09/2009 10:32:59 PM 760 Views
You just made our point... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 12:49:44 AM 816 Views
Well, because most of her actions infringe on that "bubble" beetnemesis - 04/09/2009 09:00:52 PM 733 Views
Not at all... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2009 09:23:09 PM 841 Views
WT has been THE single greatest force for stagancy and lack of development. Lohikaarme - 09/09/2009 08:58:58 AM 772 Views
Like I said earlier the AS are superfluous except the ones who aren't superfluous. NaClH2O - 09/09/2009 11:55:47 AM 856 Views
To a certain extent ajsr1982 - 03/09/2009 11:33:30 AM 1043 Views
Definitely. And Egwene is in denial. beetnemesis - 03/09/2009 05:53:14 PM 820 Views
