That is definitely lying to themselves.

Arrogant or not, I really don't care.

If you have somehow convinced yourself that Sasuke is not a genocidal lunatic all because his family was killed when he was 8, then you are lying to yourself. I'm not saying you can't like his character. I loved him in Part I. He was a bit of a douche, but an all around okay guy. But Part II Sasuke is evil. You're not going to convince me otherwise.

I know people who have lost entire families to murder (that's right. Mother. Father. Brother. Sister. All of them.). I know people who have lost family to war. And I know people who have lost family to accidents and natural disasters. In the first instance, the person I met that lost his family to murder, was 11 years old at the time it happened, 15 when I met him (I worked at a daycare for 3 years and he was with a foster family at this point) and I've known him for years now and he's alright kid. None of them, that I know, have decided to take the pain of that and go on genocidal rampages or try to murder their best friend.

So hear me clearly when I say I have zero understanding for Sasuke. None. Sympathy for him? Sure. No one should go through what he went through. But, as Ultimate pointed out, its his life. He's responsible for it. He **** all over it. He had control of that and he failed. Horribly.
