I posted those Star Trek characters' photo for a reason. I believe neither Widmore and Ben are "Good" or "Evil"; only that they are locked (ha!) in opposition. Their time is done and the Island stands alone, needing someone like Locke to do what's right.
For what it's worth, I believe Richard has his heart in the right place too. He just isn't Locke, who is special. Furthermore, now that he's been resurrected and is back on the Island, John has fully accepted his role and fate, whatever that is.
I can't wait to see John's next meeting with Ben.
