I have to disagree with you. While Lulu may not be the most morally correct person out there, it's not like he goes around Sweeney Todd-ing people in the dark of the night. :/
He understands the one law of the world: You can't change the world without getting your hands dirty.
For every movement that had peaceful resistance, there was violent resistance as well. More often than not, it was the violent resistance that turned the tide. And I think we can all agree that Britannia is a country that NEEDS to be overthrown--What Lelocuh appears to be doing seems like more of a moral goal than many of the Britannian's goals.
BUT, Lelouch does use people as pawns for his own goal--of creating a peaceful world for Nunnally. He has learned, somewhat, that his actions will cause death to innocents, but he even said in his own words "I will continue to spill blood, so the blood that has already been spilled was not in vain."
And he does not always tell people to kill themselves with his Geass "Ignore us" "Forget everything odd about us" "I'd like to have your Knightmare?" anyone? Usually, when he orders people to kill themselves with his geass, it's when he needs to prevent his plan being found out, or when he's in an emotional state.
Lelouch, while sometimes giving us a questionable view of his sanity--is doing something that happens all the time in our world--He's WAGING A WAR. In order to wage a successful rebellion like he is, you NEED to be as ruthless as possible. The type of warfare he is using--guerrilla tactics, while effective and pretty much their only option--do not give for taking prisoners. That's just the way it is. :/
And why do people side with Lelouch over Suzaku? Because it's called "Lelouch of the Rebellion" not "Suzaku of Britannia". That, and Lelouch is a more interesting character than Suzaku--up until R2, anyway.
