One of the things I enjoyed about DS9 was that it wasn't afraid to show that you cannot always play by the rules during a war against a people who want to literally wipe you and trillions of others out. You cannot be reasonable or honorable when it comes to fascist, because they certainly aren't.

Sisko is complicated. He engaged in war crimes to capture Eddington and engaged in some heavy espionage to get the Romulans in the Dominion War. Yet, Sisko is also probably the reason why Earth didn't have a fascist coup and always acted in the best interests of Bajor even if it was against the Federation.

I don't think any other star trek captain's actor could have played this role.
