you'll see where this has come up before - on both sides.  I distinctly 
remember discussions on how pro-North the DL books are/were.

Take the whole setting, over all of the books, and you'll find that it 
comes out pretty even.  There are good guys on both sides of the line, and 
bad guys on both sides.  With both sides engaging in noble behavior and 
committing atrocities.
