I don't thing the council is given enough credit. Granted in ME1 they are both supporters of and foils for Shepard, but their job must really suck. Their decisions affect the lives of upwards of trillions of sentient beings. They aren't dictators, their job is to keep the peace. Their decisions must be made on hard evidence, no matter what the possible threat. So yeah I really sympathized with them.
If you think about it, one rash choice on their part could make what Shepard did in Arrival seem trivial in comparison.
