So the Scarlet Crusade is heading to Northrend to... do exactly what the Horde and Alliance are doing, they're trying to wipe out the undead with us trying to HELP OUT. And what do we do when we get to Northrend? Fight against them in their meager establishments, as if they aren't already having trouble fighting the undead. It makes no sense. For crying out loud they have the courage to settle right next to Naxxramas! And attack it! Also in Icecrown! And we are STILL fighting against these crusaders. Then we align ourselves with the Argent Dawn... who allows forsaken to fight in their ranks. Uh hello Alliance, wtf are you DOING!? They are the enemy, remember? Again the Horde has a good reason to align with the Argent Dawn in this case, however the Alliance does not.
In my opinion the Alliance should have aligned with Scarlet Crusade, and the Horde with Argent Dawn. The only instances I've seen for why the Scarlet Crusade attacks us is purely out of self defense. I have never seen them launch an invasion against Horde or Alliance. They are not totally insane, they are just doing what they think is best for their survival, and they're right to kill the undead on sight. They can still join the Alliance, doesn't mean they have to like Deathknights. It's not like every faction on the Horde likes each other either. The forsaken are practically conspiring against the Horde at every turn anyways, as demonstrated in Dragonblight.
