Is Spock responsible for Wolf 359?


The argument runs thusly: Spock's efforts at peace, especially with the Klingons, led to a Starfleet that was "not a military organization" and was thus unprepared for the Borg.



An interesting argument, but I don't buy it for a second. The more interesting argument is the counter-argument. If Starfleet had stayed militaristic would they have made it out to the Farpoint area, and thus stayed off the Q's radar? No Q means no Borg (forget the Raven and Seven's parents, that whole plot point was ludicrous from the get-go), at least for several more decades.
