@alperez: Let's just say that it's clear that the Council's cooperation has its price, and the Alliance is willing to pay it. That price is, of course, the weakening of humanity's position. Cerberus is the only pro-human organization that's not under the Council's heel. No wonder The Council wants to remove them.
Or cerberus are a terrorist organisation that threatens galatic stability and need to be stopped, Potato/potato. The councils job is to protect all species in the galaxy, to allow governments to air their greiviances and put forward their position in a democratic manner. Cerberus want to put humanity above every other species in the galaxy and don't care whatever means they use to acheive this goal, in the real world we call people who do this terrorists and governments treat these organisations accordingly, so what is the council doing thats so very wrong again?
Concerning the moral issues, they're pretty much irrelevant during a galactic war. Define "bad guys" to me. People who get other people killed? People who make sacrifices for the greater good? Shepard's the biggest bad guy in the galaxy. See Bahak. He's the biggest mass murderer in history. He's not the one to judge.
Shepards actions have been unequivocal in their nature, they have had one objective from the beginning to stop the reapers and save every species in the universe , cerberus while perhaps trying to stop the reapers have not been an unequivocal in thier actions, their objective is ultimately to put humanity above every species. Shepard whether you like it or not is the judge, jury and executioner because Shepard is you.
Concerning how their motivations are unclear. Nobody's motivations are clear, we can't read minds, and people change, and so do their motivations. It's the uncertainty we have to deal with. It doesn't matter, anyway. You see any other organization preparing to the war with the Reapers? I don't. Make your pick. Or just sit and wait for the Reapers to arrive.
You see what you wish to see and are blind to every other single possiblity other than the one you prefer, Cerberus motivations were one thing in me1, in me2 according to TIM these motivations changed somewhat, but considering TIm lies we have only his word on this.
We don't know Cerberus are preparing for war with the reapers, thats an assumption you've made based on what TIM told you in me2, considering like i said TIM has a fleeting relationship with the truth at the best of times whether or not this is actually the case is yet to be seen.
Maybe they've been preparing for war with everyone else,. it certainly seems that way considering rather than help Shepard they are hunting Shepard and trying to kill him/her. As for others preparing for war with the reapers did i miss a meeting or isn't that what we're doing in me3.
