Should the guy who robs and kills someone to keep his family alive be viewed in the same light as a drunk driver that kills someone? They often are.
Who determines that it was "worth it" to kill x number of Iraqis to give the country a better life?
These decisions are made by the "strongest" authority of the moment. If not they wouldn't be carried out.

In the case of Hawai'i, I think the decision has already been universally made. Europeans used to have a lot of control over many different peoples, races, and cultures, but has long since agreed that this is not a good thing and ended the practice. America has agreed with most if not all of these decisions. Hawai'i is still under colonism because the Hawai'ians are too weak or too gentle spirits to put up any kind of fight or display to the world that they will fight for their independence to the death if need be. And besides, noone wants to object to America unless they really have to, you are far too mentally unstable to handle criticism without immediately retaliating with adverse politics, embargoes, and war.
