They embrace power as a means to their end goal, which is freedom. FREEDOM! Because 'MURCA! XD

Seriously though, that's why. What more noble goal is there than that? Granted, the Sith seek their own freedom, while the Jedi seek the freedom of all but themselves. It's a fine line - the two are far closer than most realize (hence Revan being the true "correct answer").
