Uh, the point of Watchmen isn't that Ozymandias got away with it (althought this happens irl all the time, since Moore was trying to use superheroes to comment on aspects of society). Watchmen isn't a traditional story but him being told what he did ultimately didn't change much in the end, because history never ends, was supposed to be "You did all that and for what" moment. It not ending with a traditional superhero comic "ends up in jail or beat up by the heroes" is part of the point, it's definitely not meant to reward it.

Not saying this to make you like the character, since it's not about liking or disliking, it's just that Watchmen was making a different point.
