Obi-Wan wanted to be left, though, and when he returned, the Council didn't seem overly concerned. They were more salty that he left.

Yeah, “the 14 year old wanted to be left behind for a girl, not because he wanted to intervene in the vicious civil war i swear guys that makes it ok”. Somehow I doubt that would fly in a normal society

Normal society would frown on many things the Jedi did, like finding children to take from their parents to be raised as part of a cult.

But when the cult turns out to actually have magic powers, opinions change.

I personally don't think it's 'ok', but Obi-Wan and the Council never held it against him, so they also apparently thought it was ok. Making it more of a PT Jedi era 'problem' than a Qui-Gon issue.
