I had a thought about the whole argument "Why the heck didn't Itachi's parents defend themselves" thing. At the point where Itachi confronts his parents, the rest of the Uchiha have already been killed. If you remember from the anime, Sasuke sees all the murdered people in the streets before he comes home to find Itachi.
Probably, by the time Itachi reveals the truth to them, everyone else is already dead, and Konoha knows that Fugaku and Mikoto are the leaders of the coup. Ergo, they are already screwed by the time Itachi finds them. At that point, either Itachi kills them or they will be executed by Konoha *cough cough, Danzo, cough cough*. I think their decision to let Itachi kill them makes a lot of sense.
Any thoughts?
