Before pointing fingers, I want to point out that the Imperialists of Europe did the same, but even worse. They made the laws their colonies had to follow, enforced them, and then exploited the situations that came about. Exploiting internationally agreed upon laws is practically just in comparison.

Other than that, I do agree that the ignorance of the people is far from being beyond reproach. The Republic military supporting the militia made things even worse, and depending on who was killed (anime only definitely shows Imperial soldiers being killed), than it erases any moral highground (which from the circumstances was likely already shot to Hell).

While I believe the indescriminat bombardment was morally wrong, the principle was not (they should have had the mages spot for them, they knew where the enemy forces were hold up after all).

TL;DR a clusterfuck all around. -_-
