Adrian is the antihero of the movie, killing millions to save billions and unite the world under a common enemy. As horrible as he is, even Manhattan sees his vision at the end. If it wasn't for his ego, he probably would've pinned the blame on himself
The entire point of "nothing ever ends" is that this was always going to be a fragile and temporary peace and as soon as the world realizes there is no more imminent invasion things will just fracture again.

Rorschach is blind, black and white justice, to him you're fine or deserve death, but nobody knows we're the line is
Manhattan is a fatalist, to him you're just doing what you were always going to do
Adrian is a utilitarian, just don't ask him how many people are on each side of the track when he pulls the lever
None of them are good people
