But Jacob was doing some manipulating of his own wasn't he? He postioned himself in certain places.
Exactly, IMO Jacob know's what's coming. Remember the conversation:
Smoky: It all ends the same...
Jacob: It only ends once...the rest is progress
So Jacob knows the END is coming, he knows one day Smoky will find a loophole, and he know he needs people to fight on his behalf to defeat smoky, becauseneither of them can do each other any harm. So he "recruits" Jack, Sawyer, Kate...not by persuasion but by giving them a path to follow. They canchoose to follow it or not. Just like the path to salvation in Christianity. God gives us a path to follow in the bible to live good lives and be goodchristians. Whether we choose to follow that path is up to us.
