she took that risk when she decided to step on everything Lelouch was trying to accomplish. She knew full well why he was doing what he was doing, and tried to placate him by creating a little sanctuary.

You're stuck on too narrow a viewpoint. Even if Lelouch had Nunnally as his primary motivation, he still cared about the state of the world, and what Euphie tried to do would have ruined any attempt to change it.

Euphie does not have any power. Charles has power, Schneizel has power, Cornelia has power, and so on. Euphie's a princess with almost no political clot that gave up her title. She had zero ability to keep it together.

again, lelouch is not in this for a better world
lelouch is in this for revenge and the destraction of britannia
the world that would result from such destraction may turn out better
but thats not what lelouch is after
Yes, he is after a better world, and always has been. Narrow viewpoint again. You're trying to make Lelouch out as a monster and suppress anything that doesn't fit in that. Lelouch does care, and was trying to make a better world. Britannia as it was did not fit in that.

No more evil than said ordering of massacres. You exaggerate. He was going to order her to shoot him non-fatally and that was it.

the SAZ was an attempt to defuse the situation before it explodes
and it did with the black rebellion, in large part BECAUSE of the failure of the SAZ
The SAZ was an attempt to stifle the rebellion, not defuse it. They did not care if it made people happy in the long run, only that it ruined support for terrorism in the short run.

She was both, so stop trying to edge out the latter.
