Well, I would just tell you to go read Part II, since Sasuke is rather adamant about it. But. You want kill quotes? Kill quotes you get.

If you had time to go looking for me, you would have been better off training, don't you think... Naruto? And that's why, this time... I'll kill you... on a whim of mine."

Do you want me to go on? Because I have more.

What they're saying is that Sasuke is somehow a redeemable character, in terms of his goals and ideology, because he had a crummy childhood. That somehow, as one of them put it, because he didn't have anyone to talk to about his "feelings" after the clan was massacred, that makes his genocidal tendencies completely normal (it isn't) and understandable (its not).

Which is, by definition, an excuse.

No, his tendencies are not normal, but they have a reason. Sasuke was traumatized as a child, corrupted by other people with no help from anyone. That led to a destructive mindset, which is perfectly comprehensible (not the mindset, but its existence). You can't condemn him for having such a mindset, only for acting accordingly.

Yes I can. Anymore that I would condemn any other criminal for doing the exact same thing.

I've read part II, hence why I'm sarcastically asking you to provide a source. And you failed that by providing sources of when Sasuke was still in "revenge-mode" and before he spoke with and fought alongside Itachi. Don't forget Sasuke also heard what Itachi told Kabuto. Or the fact Sasuke has announced plans to change Konoha instead of destroy it to make sure no one does a conspiracy again, etc. So please, do go on. Bring a smile to my face by proving yourself right. Though it'd be easier for you to do it with a quote when Naruto and Sasuke meet up during the war.
