Well as entitled to your opinion as you are, I believe that neither of the sides are actually EVIL, because they ultimately want what's best for the World. The exact goal though, is not the same, though, and neither is the method (As you Said). The Templars wanted control, which basically meant the 'end of wars' and 'better lives' under the ultimate power and ruling of the Templar Order. The Assassins want the People to be free to choose as they wish, the freedom to do as they desire as a person. If they want to have wars, thats ok with the Assassins, as long is it on the PEOPLE'S free will. Nearly opposite goals but for the same purpose, the better of the World. As for the Methods, the Assassins do not (as you said) kill innocents, they only kill those (most commonly Templars) who challenge the People's freedom, or in other words, the Assassin's Goal. Templars will do basially anything they need to do to achieve there goal, whether it be slaughtering innocent people, or just making an appearance. Sure, it makes the Templars SEEM Evil, but honestly they are just following their beliefs, and trying to help in the end with their own way. It is somewhat like a Civil War, in comparison. The best example would be the American Civil War. You can look at the Assassins as the Union, the Templars as the Confederacy, and the ordinary people as the Border States. None of them were evil, they just had different views on the world and lived their lives accordingly. Do you see what I mean, though? Anyways, my opinion is exactly the same as Kal's on the George Washington Templar story, the people would hate it, and he is probably going to be a little bit like Richard I anyways.
