@RomeoReject Do you understand what peaceful means?

It doesnt matter what your motive is. Being violent is being violent. You cannot claim to be peaceful while also commiting acts of violence, regardless of how justified you feel you are in committing them. And if you claim that he is just leaking the results, then you are wrong/lieing or havent seen the paragon neutral resolution (go watch it if you havent)

"For all their power, the "true" Geth showed their dominence by... Staying in their corner of the galaxy and not bugging anybody. " Except for all the millions of quarians, and anyone that went into thier controlled space. Yeah, not hurting a fly...

In modern war, you DO go to war with every person in the area you are fighting, that is why it is reffered to as "Total War". Also, you mention religious was as a specific kind. We have yet to find a way to "win" a religious war, as no matter how definitively you defeat the conventional armed forces of the religious sect, thier clerics/priests/whatever draw more. If you look back in history, religious wars always carry on, which has led to many forces to commit genocide in order to quell the sect. This has had mixed results of course. (And is of course MASSIVELY questionable morally)
