Alderaan wasn't a democracy (based on fact they have a princess, unless they some kind of constitutional monarchy). and thus its people don't count as people. So they don't count in definitions of win-win. So the two sides are the Empire who clearly win, and the galaxy who also wins because they get galatic harmony.

But the Empire wasn't a democracy either. It was an empire, with an emperor.

The Emperor could vote for himself if he felt like it. Thus he counts as a person.

Every citizen was granted the right to vote in the Empire, its just that the Emperor's vote counted as 51% of the vote.

You know what this reminds me of? The Smurfs. Everybody always roots for the Smurfs, and not the crazy old guy and his cat. But maybe the Smurfs of Smurf-ey past tormented the poor bastard to insanity! We don't know! Maybe Papa Smurf has a horrific secret about why that guy really hates the smurfs. Maybe the Smurfs are slowly killing the environment and the old guy was trying to stop them. We don't know!
Anyway, yeah, blowing up a planet is bad, the Empire is not a democracy, and I think Alderaan had a senate or something similar...I may be wrong, I haven't seen any of the originals in like two years, and I haven't seen any of the prequels since III was in theaters. But seriously, let's get back on topic. Since the Orcs, Goblins and Trolls were created by Sauron, who was an underling of Melkor, it's safe to assume that they would follow orders of Melkor, and are therefore underlings of Melkor. Now, Melkor was a douche. Big time. Imagine a symphony, playing a beautiful improvised piece in perfect harmony, then image some asshole thinking it'd be a good idea to play "Smoke on the Water" over and over again, and convinces like a dozen other guys to join him. Since we can trace Orcs, Trolls, and the like back to Melkor, who was a douche, it's not entirely unfair to assume that Trolls, Orcs, and the like are also douches, and nobody wants that hanging around where your kids play, so naturally the Dwarves rooted the Goblins out of their ancestral home (covered up by the media), and then, a few thousand years later, LotR takes place, and everyone was right, Goblins, Orcs and Trolls are douches. Everybody important (here meaning "Not a douche") wins!
