You compare Watchmen to a movie that justifies the Holocaust.
I'm afraid I don't see all this horrid evil that so offends you. I don't think of myself as a "ghoul," nor do I consider the reasonably high percentage of critics that liked this movie (>50%) to be "ghouls."
A bunch of people died. Just like the TV show 24, where people die every week. But in reality, nobody is really dead.
I thought this was minor entertainment, with a lot of flaws, but overall I enjoyed many aspects.
If character flaws in the "heroes" offend you, sorry, I found those interesting. If the final choice offends you, sorry, I thought it was the only reasonable choice under the admittedly artificial circumstances.
I walked out completely unoffended morally.
