Galaxy civilizations wouldn't be destroyed, but it would be in complete disoray and anarchy( pirate attacks, crime high, poor security, lot of refuges and etc.).
You'd have to. There's no other alternative. Suppose, for a second, you saved the favorite squad member? What would they think of you? Do you think Garrus, for example, would say "Hey, thanks for saving me. Too bad about all those pirate attacks, though." No, it'd be more like....
"Dammit Shepard, are kidding me? You have to STOP THEM, no matter the cost!"
