Problem with that kind of logic is anyone can use it to justify their actions, AKA Anders. He was doing it for the good of all mages, if he has to kill everyone in a church, Qunari destroy an entire city, the slaughter of the Elves, its all for the greater good. You have to remember, whats good, whose innocent, its all very subjective.
And I can understand where they come from, too.
My (canon) Hawke hates Anders not because of what he did, just that he disagrees with it and it's against his own goals and objectives (keeping the peace, trying to loosen mage restrictions by changing it from the inside). Fighting the Templar wouldn't serve much purpose with his goals, therefore he believes killing the mages will ease it and he'll still hopefully be capable of controlling the situation before it goes out of hand (mage rebellion shows he failed).
Same thing with the Qunari, I mostly agreed with the Arishok. When he questioned what I'd do in his shoes, I pretty much supported him rather than putting my shoes on his feet because that's what my Hawke would do in his position.
Otherwise moral people talk themselves into evil and immoral things every day. That was the lesson of Nuremberg. Somethings are just evil, however you try to justify them. Killing an entire group of people (men, women and childern) for something they clearly didn't do (the guilty party is right there and admits it) is one of those things.
