Peace and harmony across globe without basis on lie.

Would have preferred return to normalcy. Veidt punished for crimes against humanity, things returned to the way they were. Better a broken system with known failings than peace based on deception and genocide.
But never would have ended any other way. Doomed from start; Veidt was always better tactician than all of us. Just didn't know it until it was too late. Too late to turn back then. Had to try, even if there was never a chance of success.

[He doesn't have a real answer for you, Dick, probably won't have one for a good long while; he wasn't thinking of what would come After, only what had been done. He doesn't know what a better ending would have been, only that the one that happened wasn't it.]
