Okay, let me say this: Doug does not, and will not, have any idea what Gendo/SEELE/any other mover-behind-the-scenes is up to. All he does is teach three (later four) kids how to be teammates, and warriors, and friends. He has a little help that throws a major monkey wrench into Gendo's plans, but even then he is ignorant of what is "actually" going on.
Virtually all the major changes in the timeline happen because of changes he instigates in the other characters. One way to describe it is that he helps the walking wounded heal to a point where they can help each other, and that makes a vast difference.
