If the end is good then the means are justifiable. The 2nd World war is a good example, the allies began the bloodiest war in history to bring down Hitler. The means wasn't nice but it stoped the Nazis from dominating Europe. |
No we went to war because our elite did not want to deal with an overly powerful German elite, not to safeguard the greatest deal of good for the greatest number of people. And of course the declaration of war against Germany insured the holocaust and handed half of europe to an even worse man.
