What do you think?

To me, that question in general is over-simplified by everybody who's
ever asked it. There's no yes or no to that until you look at what's the
end and what's the means. In Zagato's instance, one person he loves
against countless innocent lives and an entire world AND the wishes of
that perticular person (Emeraude) does not justify the means. If I kill
lots of ants to keep them from invading my house, the end would justify
the means. Americans in secret operations all over the world killing
innocent villagers for "world peace" even as you read this, no. Of course,
it's not always that simple.
Not in this case.
I think Zagato wasn't thinking straight cause he was so much in love
with Emeraude. He was letting his feelings mess with his thinking and
everything else. So in a way, he wasn't a bad guy, but over all, I'd have
to say he was.
Well, the question isn't just "was Zagato justified in protecting
Emeraude's life despite the fact that this would result in Cephiro's
death?"... The question the series actually asks is more of: "is it okay
for the people of Cephiro to make one person carry the burden of everybody
else's happiness by sacrificing herself?" .... I think it isn't fair.
