I don't see what's so wrong with the conclusion being "everyone was wrong," - or at least, everyone's position had both merits and flaws, and they're all dead now and these decisions were made thousands of years removed from any living character. I have no idea why we have to come to a conclusion at all about who was right or wrong, or who the real victims are.

I might as well take a strong stance on whether Julius Ceaser was justified in crossing the rubicon.
