I'm not saying he's right in what he does or the way he does it. But from what I've seen so far, it seems that he does have his people's best interests in mind.


In fact I don't really think it's that different from Flit wanting to wipe out all the Vagans to protect humanity.
My point always has been that he has his own PERSONAL agenda which he is not telling his people

I'm going to quote him

"I want to tell you the TRUE meaning of this war"
"This is NOT merely a war"
"Up until now I have given them (Earth and her forces) the chance to survive"
"The people on Earth don't understand what it truly means to be alive"
"I am going to test them whether or not they have the will to live or not"
"I want them to show me the true value of their lives"

This is his personal belief.

This is what he is not telling his people.
