Anyway, what you said about Sakura being in love with Sasuke and Naruto at the same time, well I do agree essentially - she loves both Naruto and Sasuke, so much so that they dominate her life (or maybe that's just the way Kishi writes it ).
With Naruto, her love is hard to define. So many things about that confession seemed so wrong - especially the part where she said that Sasuke was distant whereas Naruto had always stuck by her. Made him sound like a consolation prize. But what a lot of people fail to aknowledge is that ultimately, had Naruto accepted her, they would have become a couple - Saskura must have been aware of that or she wouldn't have put it in that manner. And however unromantic a beginning the relationship would have had, it also has seem strong foundations to build on. That said, I'm still not buying that its romantic love at the moment - it clearly hadn't occured to Sakura to love anyone else but Sasuke in that way until recently and she's obviousle having a hard time letting him go. Until she does, Naruto doesn't stand a chance - especially if he wants all of her attention as opposed to something half-hearted.
With Sasuke, its not a s clear cut as a lot of the SS fans seem to think either. She was completely in love with Sasuke and her focus for the last 3 years or so has been bringing him back. I think that she's still in love with the boy that he was - regardless of the man that he's becoming (as 484 showed). Plus he was her comrade and her team mate and I think she feels a responsibility to him. She's still tied to him in many ways and I think he will always be deeply precious to her in a way that Naruto isn't (at the moment).
I think - just in terms of Sakura's feelings - Naruto and Sasuke won't compete properly for her affections until they are both back on the same side, on her team again, both with a fighting chance if that makes sense. Then its a case of the best man winning but until then I think it will be Sasuke (unless of course they decide to kill Sasuke but I can't see that happening - it would go against everything the manga has stood for!).
Either way, I don't like seeing Sakura this way either - I keep getting over the revelations that turn up each week, forgetting that for Sakura its only been a few minutes between chapters and she's still going to be going through turmoil. I just want this madness bit with the Sauce to be over. At least, I don't think Sasuke will be redeemed and decide to come home all in this fight with Naruto but I do hope that Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi are going to realise that killing him won't help - that they will have to save him some other way. Or something. I hate the idea of him as the main villain. Especially as whetver I do I can't hate him. He's just too cool and too sympathetic a character. It just sucks seeing him like this
As for not deserving redemption - surely that harder and further he falls, the better the redemption (as long as Kishi can write it well enough). Over at SS they were wondering how guilty Sasuke will feel after he has seen the light or whatever. I think originally he was a person who had a great deal of inegrity so he will feel it really badly. They were wondering how he will try to make it up to her - if he thinks that he can. Its a sweet thing to look forward to
