You answered your own question; any "SANE" person. The Rebellion is more or less populated with idealists, criminals, or the desperate. None of these are what you could typically classify as "sane".
That said, while the Empire itself is sound, it's leadership is equally unbalanced. No one in their right mind would seek the design, construction and commission of a moon-sized battlestation armed with a double-action superlaser array for the express purpose of popping planets like party favors. Tarkin and Palpatine deserve each other. (And never mind the hundreds of petty tyrants in thrall to Palpatine as well.)
this is the type of **** that makes you wonder why any sane person would even bother fighting the empire
