Sometimes the best action and the morale high road in a conflict is the one that makes you do some terrible things, there are just certain situations where the best thing to do is choose the lesser of two evils cause life rarely gives you problems that have simple answers, otherwise they wouldn't be problems. I think Tactics is an amazing game for presenting this concept to the player. The world really is not that simple I'm afraid.
As I said, its not like Delita killed many innocent people. Olivia yes, but the rest were cuthroats and murderers themselves that make Delita's record look like child's play. This resulted in the end of a pointless conflict and rule that may have been far more just for the non-nobility. I don't see how such great benefits are not worth the lives of a few people who were slowly destroying the land and harming countless innocents who are dying and starving to death cause their "leaders" feel its more important to wage war against each other so they can have control of a ruined kingdom.
Except Olivia and the Cid impostor, Delita pretty much took out people who deserved it. Would he have killed Ramza if he tried to make a stand against him? Certainly, but its not like Ramza is exactly innocent either and Ramza trying to stop Delita would have served no purpose for either of them.
