It’s not about stopping Veidt because he’s already done it. It’s about whether to reveal the truth about what happened and risk the world sliding into nuclear war which it is right on the brink of (because Veidt’s control of the media stoked fears and tensions to bring it to that point, because he is the only reason the Black Freighter came to his town).

The other characters go along with the deception, Rorschach cannot because his moral code is absolutist. A thing is either right or wrong, black or white never mixing to shades of grey.
