Plot holes

Having heard that Starcraft 2 would come out soon, I set out to play starcraft again to familiar myself with the stories. The game is really good and the story was interesting but one thing bother me in Starcraft Broodwar. Grant, it not a plot hole, rather it a weak story line.

Why would Raynor, Mengsk, and Fenik agreed to help Kerrigan to destroy the earth fleet who currently control the overmind despite the fact that earth is the greater of two evil? The way I see it, the zergs is the greater of two evil because this is zerg people, the race that nearly extinct the terran and the protess! I thought that was very weak and the terran and the protess should know better. And I don't care if they thought Kerrigan change, the zerg are still dangerous!

Thoughts?

Mengsk had no choice. One, he knows he can never overthrow the UED alone (not in many years anyway). Two, he was essentially Kerrigan's prisoner at the start of the second Zerg campaign and was pretty much at her mercy.

Raynor, I believe, was mislead by his earlier feelings for Kerrigan. He wanted to believe that the old Kerrigan, the person he used to love, was still in there somewhere. That and the fact that he was afraid of the UED and their agenda.

Fenix trusted Raynor, and also because the UED had plans to use the Zerg broods to pacify the Protoss (it's in the manual) so he would certainly percieve them as a threat.

Plus; I don' think they saw Kerrigan as a person and the Zerg as a race as the same thing. After all, she is still pretty terran in her actions and personality.

The UED was planning on using the Zerg as a weapon to wipe out everybody. That was, without a doubt, the most immediate threat.
