Default Watchmen: Doomsday, Thoughts/Ideas?

I know the thread title may be comfusing, but in this thread I'd like to discuss the way the movie "Watchmen" went about the Cold War and armageddon theories.

I was frustrated by the way they had gone about using Dr. Manhattan's power to destroy national landmarks to end the cold war. This is because realistically if this event hadn't happened, there was no immenent Apocalypse to come, as in reality the Cold War just filtered out in the wash due to a stand-still. This was a major character flaw in Ozymadias' case because, as the smartest man in the world, shouldn't he have been able to understand that it was not a definite nuclear war? Why was he not able to comprehend that by keeping Dr. Manhattan sane and able to connect through his future that he might've seen no impending nuclear eruption across the world?

I'd like to hear other thoughts on this, religious POV's are also appreciated as I'd probably like to see some theories as to God's destruction of an evil humanity with the flood in biblical times.

My review------------> Incredible movie overall. 9.5/10 I found the visuals to be stunning, offering testosterone-thrilling action, sex and mental stimulation. My favorite visual was that of Manhattan's Mars creation (something I'd like to name the INFINITY CLOCK), and I found that the subtle humor in the movie was real and well-done. Legendary Pictures always seems to do great work, and I hope for more epics in the future!
