Veidt’s questions to Jon suggest that some part of him is uncertain about whether he made the right choice. Jon’s statement that there is no “end” implies that Veidt may have established peace for now, but there is no way to know whether that peace will last. This highlights a flaw of a utilitarian ethical stance as well, since one may take despicable actions to achieve a noble result, but the future is never certain—one cannot know that the results of their actions will not be undone, as Rorschach nearly undid the results of Veidt’s actions.
