As for the debate about Doran, I'd have to agree with Sirken. He seems to be one of the more levelheaded and contemplative characters in the book, and he has more reason to be concerned about the outcome of the War of Five Kings than most, given the fate of his brother and sister. He's been scheming for a while.... whether he'll succeed, who knows. You're right about one thing though Mandalore, whatever he's plotting, won't have to do with military. I don't think we'll see a military alliance between the forces of Dorne and a sellsword company taking the Iron Throne, but I do think the Prince of Dorne is up to something much more subtle, and much more likely to be successful than that.
Either way, I took away from the text that Doran was one of the more intelligent characters. When I read the books, he was one of the few people that I respected but wasn't actually cheering for, mainly because I have no clue what he's up to. I seriously doubt, however, that he won't be important at the end.
PS: I don't think Doran hates the rebels because of what happened, I think he hates the Lannister's because of what they did to Elia. Obviously, an heir to the throne couldn't be left alive, but you can't expect reason to come into this. I'd want revenge too.
