The whole point of the Watchmen is the inherent moral complexity and debatable nature of both Ozymandias and Rorschach’s philosophies. He is an anti-villainous and morally ambiguous character as the purpose of his plan to massacre millions using Doctor Manhattan’s energy was to save the entire world from the brink of nuclear war by uniting them against a staged enemy after costumed heroics failed and only aggravated tensions which ends up being proven correct as his plan successfully averted nuclear war and united the world in peace with the rest of the Watchmen, with the exception of Rorschach, getting convinced that remaining silent and not exposing Adrian was the best option and the only way to sustain the peace.This causes the death of Rorschach when Doctor Manhattan kills him outside to prevent him from exposing Adrian. He convinces the rest of the Watchmen (with the sole exception of Rorschach) to stay silent and not expose him after his plan is revealed to have succeeded in achieving world peace and preventing a nuclear holocaust.
