... as long as it justifies your intention. Or gives the appearance of so doing.

The basic principle remains that meddling in another country's internal affairs is a Bozo No No. When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1989, there was nearly unanimous agreement that his actions there were a valid reason to go to war and drive Iraq out of Kuwait. What Saddam Hussein did in his own country was reprehensible but not a valid reason for anyone to invade Iraq and no one ever suggested that it was the reason until it became clear that the original stated reason (Iraq has dangerous weapons which threaten everyone's security) was found incapable of holding any more water than a barbed wire fence.
