if you want a good example i'll give you griffith from berserk (hope you've seen it, if you havent, see it)
he has a place he wants to get to
but the problem is that to get to the castle he needs to pave the road
and the only thing he can pave the road with is dead bodies
its like the eunichs asked him
"do you watch out so that you dont step on ants while you walk"
"dont you throw away the paper you wipe your ass with"
he ends up with a similer mentality at times

Well, if you have to trample some ants to save the anthill...
Lelouch's problem is that he can't decide what is more important: the individual or the overall happiness. He's stuck somewhere between S1!Suzaku and Schneizel, being mostly ruthless, but still not using every weapon at his disposal and believing he is "sinning".
He contradicts himself.
But he does care about the "ants" he is trampling. Sentences like "a game of chess with lives at stake" or "no one has to die if I mess up here" show that very clearly.
It's not like sits back and watches other people die for him. He risks his own life, too, and he beliefs in what he is doing.
