Actually they are not as nasty as you patray them.
By all rights no Cullens or any of there helpers should be alive. No matter the cost they should all have been put down. In fact even the ones that Aro wanted to collect should have burnt up in a purple pyres. This is what should have happened and if they have any Macheaveli in them they will do it. Order is not maintained by a show of weakness. The Cullens are a signal to the rest of the Vampires that the Voltari are weak. In the predetor world only the strong survive. This is the world they live in. Yes a bit more rough than the world we live in but not as nasty as that which is found in Dafur. They have to be more cruel and more harsh to maintain their fragile world. Without them what would the world be like?

Well, you can PM me and I'll give you some background on this...might prove intersting to you...I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, but are you part of a monarchy? Because I find it interesting that you bring this up when it really doesn't help either side- unless you have noble blood you haven't mentioned.
Don't forget the Daniel coven has a much founder view and so does Jasper than you are depicting. They respect the Voltari for their brand of Justice... Acutally we have no idea of their loses as SM does not give an account of their campaigns They may have face some very formitable foes that kill more than just a few of them. So we both can speculate...Judging by Jasper's tone when he retold his story- none. You're talking about an organized group- some with powers beyond the normal vampire- versus armies of newborns. The Cullens fought against the newborn army in Eclipse and all we saw was that Jasper got a few bites. So, the Volturi guard had no losses, made no sacrifices. Heck, the twins alone would be more than a match for any newborn army.
Symantics; rulers or leaders...rather the same thing in the broader scope of time they have been around.Reinforce their position as the (un)official rulers (not leaders) of vampiredom. Which resulted in the destruction of the Romanian vampires save for the two survivors.
