That and from a heroic standpoint the dragons have never shown discrimination in their war towards innocents. While the Dragons might not be the 'bad guys' of the war, they are just as guilty of wanton slaughter. If we question why we protect Ishgard, the same can be asked about Limsa who are guilty of starting the war with the Kobalds.
