"So, I guess you really mean that the end DOES justify the means, if the end is what YOU want"

Exactly! I won't lose a wink if both destroy each other. If given the chance, I'd even do what I feel the CIA should be doing, antagonise them against each other.

Didn't Churchill say something along the lines of "if Hitler managed to attack the very gates of hell, I would try to think of something supportive to say about the devil"?

Perhaps there's something even more evil than Nazis loose on the earth theses days :-(

You are preaching moral equivalency.
It is a BASIC concept of Christianity and ALL religions that the ends DON'T justify the means EVER, in any circumstance.
That is one of the very cornerstones of all philosophy and it's an absolute morality of Christian (any religion) ethics.

Evil monsters throughout our history have believed the way you do.

You must be very young. Take a look at my tagline.
