But this still has no bearing on the actions of Sylvanas. Though it could be argued that it in the end helped the Gilneans thwart the evil onslaught.

So she chooses the path of evil. I agree with you, but it doesn't help your case.

This is what the Gilneans are doing. The Forsaken are not at risk in this conquest. They are the aggressors, and they are fighting merely for redemption and to conquer land for the Horde.

But she's not defending her people, she's using them to fulfill the desires of the Horde. She's doing it for power, not in defense. Since when is an invasion a defense? The Gilnean's were probably the least threatening people to the Forsaken in their isolationism. The Horde became opportunists when they saw their wall had fallen.

Are you saying that the Gilneans are merely lambs for the slaughter for the survival of the Forsaken?

It would be like saying it's okay for Iraq to conquer Kuwait to ensure their continued security in the Middle East. I don't buy it.

The Forsaken are the aggressors via the Horde. Gilneas are the ones defending themselves. Which side would you have supported when Germany invaded Poland?

Evil is as evil does.
