I don't see much use in general slogans. Sometimes it is worth resisting evil with lesser evil, very commonly in fact.

The obvious one, in a market system, in a really functioning one, whoever's making the decisions doesn't pay attention to what are called externalities, effects on others. I sell you a car, if our eyes are open we'll make a good deal for ourselves but we're not asking how it's going to affect her [over there.] It will, there'll be more congestion, gas prices will go up, there will be environmental effects and that multiplies over the whole population. Well, that's very serious.

In the case of Yugoslavia v. NATO, one of the charges was genocide.
