I really can't believe the level of naivety with which some people are approaching this.
Itachi options include:
1. Join the rebellion. Danzo and most people see this a Itachi dying, but in reality this means murdering innocent Konoha ninja. People are horrified that he killed his own mother and father. OK: How is killing other people's mothers and fathers any better? Especially when these are 100% innocent, and his own would be guilty of instigating the violence?
And afterwards, the village of Konoha is weakened and the fourth ninja world war breaks out. Great, tons of people die, many times more than just the Uchiha clan. Parents will lose their children, children will lose their parents. How is it right that so many more families have to be destroyed just so Itachi doesn't have to kill his own?
2. Destroy his own clan before they can attack. No innocent Konoha ninja die. No world war. And Sasuke lives. The ones who die are for the most part the guilty party.
You cannot seriously claim that the first option is better than the second. Itachi's decision was heroic in the highest degree. That kind of sacrifice is harder to make by far than even giving up one's own life.
