I can prove to you it is not.

If my end is to have a million dollars, am I justified in killing whoever I want to get it?

If someone rapes your sister, are you justified in killing their whole family to get to them?

If someone kills your daughter, are you justified in burning down a city in revenge?

Oh, I didn't realize you asked "do ends always justify the means?". My mistake.
