Sure it's bent, but in the end, they're fighting the Scourge and the Burning Legion. There are warlocks in the alliance who rely on fel energy, but it doesn't make the Humans & Gnomes as a whole "evil". Same goes for the Orcs and Undead.

And the Forsaken are pretty smurfing evil too, so yeah, they're about on a level. I'm not saying neither of them have a good reason to be evil, but that doesn't change the fact that they are pretty [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty.
But they are doing their hardest to get rid of the Scourge, and help the Orcs/Taurens/Trolls in their fights. There are even priests.

It was before TBC that the Horde could easily be argued to be more good than the Alliance. Now, the at least hugely questionable race of the Blood Elves joined the Horde (Okay, nowhere else for them to go, but the Horde didn't have to let them in.), whilst the completely unblemished and blameless race of the Naaru joined the Alliance, pretty much without looking at the situation at all.
I suppose you mean Draenei, since the Naruu =/= Draenei. Anyway, why the Horde? Well, the Night Elves can't stand them (to say the least), and some might see their past alliance with the Naga as not great. However, they are also trying to get rid/put under control their addiction to magic, much like the Orcs had to do to get rid of the cursed blood of Mannoroth. that's why the Tauren and the Orcs can accept them, because they see the similarities with what the Orcs went through. The BE/Forsaken link is more complicated because of the hatred of the BE for everything undead, but at the same time the knowledge that many of their dead friends/families are now part of the Forsaken. Sylvanas, for example.

It is pretty clear that Blizz's idea is that the Horde are the bad guys and the Alliance are the good guys, despite the several years they've just spent trying to be more nuanced.
I think it's pretty clear that it's not black & white like you think it is.

Edit: They are mercenary because they will do anything for a hit of magic and they are murderers because of pretty much the same reason.
The BE joining the Horde are the ones who can keep in check their lust for magic energy. those who don't go mad.
