I think you guys are concentrating too much on military action here. The Romulans could easily wipe out the major military centers of the Federation and probably raze Earth in the process (think large antimatter bomb beamed from a phase-cloaked ship into the President's office, or emperor, or whatever he's called).
They could then effectively defend Romulan space from counterattack by using small cloaked strike groups to destroy the supply lines of any Federation fleets, which would be pretty weak anyway after the preemptive strikes.
Remember, space is 3-D, so your flanks are expanded by a factor of 4. Besides, look at the trouble we (the US) are having with supply lines in Iraq right now. Imagine if the hajjis had cloaked machine gun trucks and could drive underground.
But the point here is the Roms could never politically control the Federation, it's too much to handle. So lots of people would die and all for nothing basically.

And they have more ships, they could easily push into Romulan space and attack our trade routes and stations.

by assainating the preator, you through the empire into chaos.
chaos results in riots.
riots resuls in marial law.
martial law results in rioters joining forces against the against the law enforcement.
rioters joining forces results in rioters gaining disruptors.
rioters gaining disruptors results in empire wide panic.
empire wide panic results in mass-meyhem
mass-meyhem results in civil war.
civil war results in the fall of the Romulan Star Empire.
there you have it. the steps to destroying an empire from the inside out.

in anser to both civil war was hyperthethical or how ever you spell it and the smilieys are made by invision inorder to use them you must have invision installed, however afew or them where made by docacola you have to have copyright from him and you still have to have invision installed as its based on there smilieys.
