Depends on if you have the means to justify the ends.

Sometimes, but in many cases how you do something is more important than the outcome. Some people would use WWII as an example-that stopping the Germans & Japanese justified turning whole cities full of people into smoking holes. But how many of today's problems are a result of that conflict's outcome? Sometimes you get what you want 'in the end', only to find it wasn't what you really needed.

It depends on who you are asking at the moment. I venture to say that each individual might have their own take on that. In my opinion, hearing that statement at all, makes the warning signals go off. I also think that if there is a situation that this quote seems appropriate for, then you have someone rationalizing their own responsibility and obligation, and "justify" their actions.

Only if the means don't need justifying.

No. Not if it's not moral. And I'm an atheist.
