Riddle Me This...

If, under extreme provocation, the Time Lords are willing to authorize the Doctor to go back in time and wipe out the Daleks at the moment of their genesis...

And if Adelaide Brooke is a fixed point in time, who must be inspired by a Dalek to go to Mars where she will die and inspire her granddaughter Susie Fontana Brooke to go the the stars, and whose timeline must not be interfered with under any circumstances...

Then how many million years of power does it take for a civilization to be really corrupt?

Presumably the Time Lords were so keen to smother the Daleks in their cradle because they had an inkling that that race might, one day, be strong enough to bring down Gallifrey itself in a devastating Time War. But really, the difference between the Doctor and his people? He interferes with the timelines because he can't bear to stand by and watch people die. They do it to protect their own skin.
