See, this is what I mean, Garleans commit a genocide and your like..

"Maybe it's the Domans fault they were invaded, subjugated, brutalized and then murdered in mass"

Let's say your completely unfounded in anyway by the game theory innocent Garleans somehow were killed during the uprising, that still doesn't justify ANYTHING.

If a couple of American citizens were killed in Iraq by terrorists and we responded bu WIPING OUT THE MIDDLE EAST to the point all that's left of them could fit on a cargo ship we would be rightly seen as genocidal monsters.

I have know doubt will meet more sympathetic Garleans one day but there going to be what you hate Theo, there going to be like Cid and Lucia, (not blinded by patriotism fascists which is what most Garleans actually are) and help us reform it, not suddenly reveal "Oh hey guys Garleans are cool now there genocides were justified"
