It certainly didn't live up to Federation ideals.
But then again Sisko should be a war criminal for using Biogenic weapons.
If you want to see someone do the ethically correct thing 10/10, even in the face of Starfleet failing to, Jean Luc is your captain.
I'll bet Janeway and Sisko's music playlists are a lot more fun though.
The whole theme of the show is the battle of the ideals which work great in the alpha quadrant vs the reality of their situation
If you abandon your principles when things get hard then they're not principles; they're hobbies.
True. Then you are removed and replaced by someone who does what you won't.
It's tricky. I think its also important to weigh in that a lot of these captains and folks in executive position spent their entire working life to get to X position. It must be hard to walk away from a life goal, which I assume is what pushes them to, "do what needs to be done." The lingering question remaining, "Did it really need to he done?"
