1, conquest is not necessarily good or evil - it is neutral. Duke William of Normandy is known as the conqueror, but he is probably the historical individual I admire more than anyone else (and I am not saying that to get a reaction - its true). The conquest of Poland by the Nazi's and Soviet's I would call evil. The conquest of Germany by the US, the Soviets and the UK/Empire forces I would describe as good.
The FACT is that the Forsaken are surrounded by the Scarlet Crusade who do not think they are fit to exist and wish to wipe them off the face of the earth. Sylvanas has had to take necessary actions to defend her people.
2 - It is relevant because I believe that Greymane is implicated in spreading the curse through his kingdom
3 - Sylvanas is an ALLIED to the Horde, she is not the Vassal of some hare brained orc warchief who turns his back on his people to join a bunch of hippies who sit around and worship nature at the first sime of trouble. There is no reason for her to obey anyone. Her chief desire is to protect the forsaken, and she co-operates with the horse insofar as they have common enemies, thats all.
4 - All acts of war are atrocities when viewed in a purely human sense. But you either defend yourself or die.
For example, there is a case where William forced a whole town to surrender by cutting off the hands and feer of 32 prisoners in full view of them. Some would say this was an atrocity. Some would say that this brutality spared the lives not only of his own men but the conquered as well. The same argument was used about the use of atomic bombs against Japan. Sylvanas does not hesitate to use any means at her disposal to defend her people. This is not inherently evil. She simply is in a desperate situation.
