You're not supposed to. He's a psychopath. You're supposed to empathize with his perspective, but not like him.

Bear in mind - Alan Moore hates superheroes. He was given a cadre of them to try and reinvigorate, and he ended up upending the entire genre. He's as much as said that superheroes are a projection of American fascism. Each and every superhero in Watchmen is deeply flawed - the more power, the greater the flaw.
