Perhaps there is some truth to that argument. But the Republic was the only structure that was preventing total chaos. It was at least some unity, or the galaxy would be fodder to any attacker.

True. I would vote on nr 1 because i think it was the right decision to go to war but not because innocents were suffering I'm more of a Sith guy so i don't care much for the Republic. So, yes it was the right decision to go to war but not to save innocents or the Republic. Yes i know. I'm an evil bastard
