Machiabelli is not for rank amateurs and pikers

Mr Blair is now, in effect, claiming that the means justifies the ends. There's just a slight problem here. We have yet to see the end of this foray. We are not victors. We cannot yet write the history on this excursion. If the people who claim that the means justifies the ends become the losers, the victors generally mete out some very harsh judgment for their hubris.

in reference to:
