I understand what you are saying, however I think it is a really “Doctor Who-ey” moment. Sure it’s a bit naive and idealistic but the two races had severe war fatigue. We could do with some of our world’s leaders de-escalating conflict right now. Someone has to start. And on Skaro - a brave new world was (hopefully) starting. But then the Daleks arrived...
Thanks for reading. I take your point but up to this moment there's been no hint of war fatigue. Indeed, given the war has been going on for generations, I don't think they would really be able to envisage a world without war, with peace and this sort of 'generosity in victory'. My take is it's just lazy writing. Couldn't the Doctor just have slipped away from his guards amidst the victory celebrations?

War fatigue would be a given after a generation of conflict. I love the optimism and grace of the Kaled leader. If only we had some here on Earth.
