Do ends justify the means?

Of course people will cheer his demise. I would/will, too. But the people killed (accidentally or not) by bombs, buried under rubble presumably won't be out cheering.

If a cop breaks the law to catch a murderer, we applaud the arrest, but we question the tactics. Same logic applies here.

And Max makes a valid point: . "'Saddam is our hero,' said one, before adding quickly, 'for today.'" (Washington Post, Oct. 21, 2002). This was after Saddam released a bunch of prisoners back in October. These people have lived a life of obedience, knowing when to talk, when not to, etc.

I believe their sincerity, however. Those who will live through "shock and awe" will feel like a million bux the day it's all over.
