Khoikkhoik, i think you are saying "end justifies the means", i am not saying Kauravas should have won, they are the bad guys and most lose for the better of the society. But some of the things the Pandav side did were war crimes too. The way Drona was killed, the way Arjun was hidden behind Shikhandi knowing fully well that Bheesma will not point arrows towards Shikhandi, the way Karna was tricked into giving his Kabaj Kundal, the way Krishna played all those tricks. If Bishnu in the form of Krishna was doing all "Leela" why couldn't this have been lot cleaner?

That is why i like Ramayan much more. Except for the trick against Bali and the expectation of Sita to go through the fire to prove her purity (Obviously Ram did not have to being a guy) I find Ramayan teaches better morals.

I don't know why the devotees like Krishna more than Ram. Ram was "maryada Purshottam", had only one wife, followed moral codes to the letter. He was like Yudhistir of Mahabharat. Krishna was more of a trickster, a flirt etc etc
