Well, once again using the example of the war, there are three things we could have done and neither is perfectly "right". We could go to war (as we did) and kill a lot of innocent civilians, but overthrow a bad regime. We could ignore it, no American soliers would get killed, and Saddam would go on happily killing off his people, or we could attempt peace talks, which most likely wouldn't work as Saddam was not cooperating. Of course there are many 'ifs' here. We might go to war and not kill anyone. Saddam might have stopped killing his people. Peace talks might have worked. But probably not.
(I need to leave right now, so I'll edit more into this post later.)
