Re: Regarding Vir's choice to abet Londo -

Agreed.

And here's another thought I had just now - if Vir can be considered guilty for his choices, what shall we conclude about Sheridan and Delenn? As Delenn herself acknowledges later, they were well aware of the connection the Shadows had with the Centauri government - and yet they too did nothing.

Well, to play devil's advocate, Delenn and Sheridan found out post facto (i.e. after the war had already started) and kept quiet with the goal of winning the Shadow war in mind, which can't be claimed for Vir. But I doubt G'Kar at the moment when Delenn tells him sees that so very differently...
