Absolutely not, unless you adhere to pure utilitarianism. Veidt kills untold numbers of innocent people on a self-imposed quest to do what he believes will save humanity. He was a straight up megalomaniac and the only upside is that his murderous actions eventually lead to peace.

But he made himself feel every death, and he saved the entire world from (holds lighter under map)..

Self imposed pain do not give back nor compensate for the lifes he took.
