Yeah, because obliterating an entire planet and civilization is a TOTALLY proportionate response to a civil uprising. ;)
Even assuming the "Empire at large" or "rank-and-files" had no clue what was going on, the Empire's leadership certainly did. A population itself may not be evil, but that doesn't mean its leaders can't be evil. Or, would I be out of line in assuming there's not actually an argument out there that Palpatine wasn't evil either?
