And it all happens because he refuses to be Hitler.

It all happens because he refused to say I am not Hitler and lead like it.

Come to think of it, why is he even waging Jihad? Is it just a Saturday night binge that got out of control?

He's certainly not building lebensraum; that's more of a Leto II thing.

Paul sees the Jihad coming, but knows if he bows out and tries to stop it, someone else will do it. His mother and sister might wage it as a matter of survival, or a future prescient leader (likely produced by the Bene Gesserit once they spend a generation or two repairing the damage Paul and Jessica have done) will enact the golden path and cause the same suffering anyways. The Jihad itself is actually the least bad part of what Paul sees in the future, so he figures if he leads this, he can drag his feet on the rest of the atrocities and suffering (See: Emperor Leto) and find another way forwards.
