 He knew
 there would be trouble, but did not realize the extent of
 it. Still, he probably would have made the same decision.
 When I imagine him, I see that scene from Babylon 5, where
 Londo Mollari watches from the flagship as the Centauri
 Republic Navy starts dropping rocks on the Narn
 homeworld.
  
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I remember that scene well, almost haunting.

Still, as I recall, it wasn't Londo that made that decision, he wasn't on the throne yet (there was some easily manipulated 'puppet' as I recall), & he *did* protest as soon as he was informed by the guy that was really calling the shots.
And that guy made it clear that he just didn't care at all.
Also, wasn't there something of a deal that Londo made the Narn honcho?
Something about agreeing the leave Narn in exchange for support?
