It absolutely does not. He killed people that were not even involved! Not to mention that many were executed without trial.

My point about Mill being a patriot was that he was a patriot to humanity. This vile governor was perhaps a patriot to some legal fiction because he couldn't base his actions in morality, but instead justified himself under the vile auspices of a legal fiction!

Collectivism (and this case clearly shows it) makes people blind. The fact that you can find honour in some of the things he did during that rebellion is something I find to be deeply immoral and appalling. Like our last prime minister, this man should have been tried for murder.
