Black - the dark of ages past!
Red - a world about to dawn!
Black - the night that ends at last!"

From what I can tell, it's usually the idea that the Guardians have noble intentions that get them into the most trouble, and this usually leads to them being pricks. The Corps, by and large, are all good people, but they have to follow the orders of a bunch of idiots, usually.

For instance, all the laws they've initiated in the Corps since the Sinestro Corps War have been with the best intentions in mind, but have ended up for the worse. The authorisation to kill led to Laira's dismissal, the rule forbidding relationships between Lanterns saw the retirement of hundreds of Lanterns, and so on. It seems to be in their nature to screw up.

	I thought they were always idiots. Even when they were right they were portrayed as being jerks about being right. COurse that was in the Silver Age during the era of Superdickery (Reply to this) (Parent)
