There were too many Jedi, they had to go, so things were even?
No one ever said that. The prophecy isn't "There are too many good guys. There should be an equal number of good guys and bad guys." It isn't about what should happen. The prophecy isn't recommending a course of action, merely an event that will transpire. A prophecy doesn't have to be a positive thing that people should strive for. It might be something people don't want to have happen at all. Oedipus fulfilled a prophecy that said he would kill his father and marry his mother, and thus brought disaster on his city and family.
"..the one to bring balance to the force"

I was under the impression it was widely accepted that Anakin brought balance to the force...

Actually, the most recent book revealed a solid answer to the prophecy.

Is that really as canon as the movies?

As canon as Han saying the Death Star was too big to be a space station...

There are certainly some inconsistencies, but very few outright contradictions.

"Balance to the Force" is a numbers game. The key is in a comment by Yoda at the end of Ep. 1.

But Obi Wan said Anakin was prophecied to destroy the Sith "not join them!" And he did. Eventually. *NM*

Technically, going strictly by the films, that could have been supposition rather than quotation. *NM*

I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ

I don't like your analogy - organisation vs nationality

What if I had said Christians instead of Americans? Then you'd have the comparison you favor. *NM*

No I wouldn't, I'm frankly confused as to why you think I would favour that more

Not ideal maybe, but more an organization of people than a nation of people.

I'm not overlooking it. I just don't view the moment as one of "balance achievement".

No, I do. You probably read my tangent about my disagreement with Lucas about Vader's redemption.
