One definition, one of my favorite definitions of evil, is using a bad means to achieve a good end.
When good people, or idealists, often ruthless and insatiably power-hungry, resort to violent, cruel, involuntary, corrupt, illegal trickery, larcenous, dishonest manipulating and deceiving, these bad means spoil the good end. These dishonorable, extreme means render the perpetrators more wicked and vicious than the evil ones that they are working to hard to vanquish.
Shortcuts will not suffice here. Do it right or leave it be.
