Rebuttal I: An entirely logical conclusion, albeit seething with xenophobia. Why should the 5th Fleet, the human race, be viewed in any superior regard than the lives of other species? Holding back to concentrate on Sovereign is tactical. Holding back because the casualties to humans would be significant is xenophobic.
Rebuttal II: The Council takes action based upon proof. Throughout both games Shepard never once offers any irrefutable evidence of the Reapers. In actuality, this is a consequential plothole in Mass Effect. Shepard obtained data of Sovereign from their encounter on Virmire via recordings from their hardsuits and compiled analysis via the Normandy. Ashley even recommends this yet neither is submitted. The Council is not weak, they simply do not make decisions based upon bazaar and irrational dreams. One could ponder the reason the Asari councilor did not meld her mind with Shepard's but that is a plothole argument against ME.
Rebuttal III: There was no rational reason beyond human arrogance that would support why humans should be made a council race. We had only been apart of the galactic community for nineteen years. No intellectual governing body responsible for trillions of lives would ever allot authority of that magnitude from a species they know exceptionally little about. Cerberus is a biased organized whose primary interest is human dominance. They are not an accurate source.
Rebuttal IV: It is not the responsibility of a Governing board to engage in direct combat. In fact, that would be cited as reckless and often frowned upon. Such is why they have soldiers and generals to whom are trained for the specific task of protecting the Citadel and all the galactic civilization. In human history there have existed exceptions to the rule, where leaders fought directly but it frequently led to their demise. Furthermore, your definition of a parasite is incorrect. The Asari are not leeching life from their mates nor are they dangerous; excluding the Ardat-Yakshi, and are capable of breeding with their own species. They merely concluded breeding with other species bore superior offspring.
Personally, I am hopeful Earth's role is similar to Noveria and we explore other home worlds. Another outcome I fancy is Earth's complete destruction as a prominent part of the plot. Suffice it to say I do not desire a game where Earth is the entire focal point because ME has always been about the galaxy not Earth.
