well these are qoutes from a tv show instead. deep space nine. i thought it was fantastically written.
this one's my fav:
YouTube - Star Trek DS9 - How the Romulans were tricked into the war
when captain sisko and garak tricked the romulan's into entering the war with the dominion, through espionage, by killing the romulan senator vreenak - and making it look like the dominion was behind it.

GARAK: and the more the dominion protests its innocence, the more romulan's will believe they are guilty, cuz its EXACTLY what the romulan's would have done in thier place. That's why you came to me isnt it captain? because you knew i could do those things that you were'nt capable of doing. well it worked! and you'll get what you want, a war between the romulan's and the dominion and if your conscience is bothering you, you should sooth it with the knowledge that you just may have saved the entire alpha qaudrant, and it all costed you was the life of one romulan senator, one criminal... and the SELF-RESPECT OF ONE STARFLEET OFFICER! i dont know about you but i would call that a bargan!

Captian Sisko log: At 08:00 hours station time, the Romulan empire formally declared war against the Dominion. They have already struck fifteen bases along the Cardassian border. SO THIS IS A HUGE VICTORY FOR THE GOOD GUYS! This may even be the turning point in the war!.
So I lied, I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to Murder. But the most damning thing of it all, i think i can live with it. and if i had to do it all over again I would.
Garak is right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the entire alpha qaudrant, so i will learn to live with it. because I can live with it.
