The_Overlord

I'm defending the innocents that get killed and the people who are merely protecting their homes because they know what's at stake if they lose and the Devouring Earth cannot be contained.

Cole is also, arguably, doing what he thinks is right by trying to protect people from this very thing, even if his methods might be wrong. And in what dictionary does 'disappear' mean killed? Your logic of "Well, some people died so clearly we should risk the death of an entire reality and possibly our own even though the large majority of people are perfectly safe and happy" is just as disconcerting.

The willingness to risk the death of billions because of the possible deaths of thousands is in no way heroic or just.

Is that your way of saying that it's up to the good people to incite a war in the first place?

Is it still freedom to the people who's lives you are making worse by attacking where they live? Is it still freedom for the people who get caught in the crossfire and die because you were unwilling to find another solution?

No matter how 'noble', the ends do not always justify the means.

So there would be nothing wrong, for instance, with a bunch of people from one country invading another based on the moral beliefs of their leader vs. the other country's leader, despite the fact that most people who live there are either ignorant of the trouble or living quite happily?

So it's perfectly fine for group A to start a war that has the potential to cause serious harm to innocent people just to get at group B because they disagree with how they run their country? (And yes, I'm aware that this is two different realities, and not countries, I'm simplifying the debate somewhat)
