Lelouch trusted too much in his certainly impressive, but inevitably fallible mind; taking action based on an incomplete assessment of a situation he had nowhere near the full details of, he came to a mistaken conclusion and ultimately suffered for it.
Lelouch's two worst enemies weren't the world or the Britannians, but his own ego and his love for Nunnally. Both of those things screwed him over worse than anything else by guiding him into unsound action.

If he would have considered himself less infallible and dealt with dangers to Nunners in a more rational frame of mind... things would have turned out differently.
