Yes, that is actually the moral question at a point. Well, not the way you put it, but rather 'is it right to sunder the planet to fight Meteion rather than let that planet's inhabitants drive themselves to death'. Remember that the Sundering was equal parts about making sure the planet could fight Meteion as it was ensuring that the Ancients would stop the cycle of sacrifices that had now gone from 'sacrificing the Ancients willingly' to 'sacrificing the life of the planet unwillingly'.

Essentially, is it better to live by someone else's standards, or to die by your own? Amaurot was going down the road to a tragic end regardless of Meteion.
