[Watchmen] Why is the Comedian troubled by the plan?

Why is Comedian troubled by Adrian's plan? For someone who seems like he doesn't give a fuck about anything, he was horrified when he went to see Moloch.

The Comedian was a realist thug who spent decades working for the status quo.  His worldview was a simple one, that what ultimately mattered was strength and that to win you "just hadda be tougher."  He also has a dim, misanthropic perspective on human nature.  Dr. Manhattan at one point said that Blake perfectly understood the dark side of humanity and didn't care.  Blake lived in a world where humanity was broken and ugly, where he fit right in.

But then Blake encounters a secret plot to save the world that destroys his worldview.  He knows that the plan will work, that humanity can be saved.  But the cost is so enormous that keeping it a secret breaks hims.  The scheme is too dark even for this murderer, this rapist.  It's also too big, radical, and unprecedented for a cynic operating in a world that he thought was simple, brutal, and predictable.  Blake doesn't really have the amoral detachment or the psychological flexibility to truly be at peace with this idea, even though he knows it has to happen. It becomes a joke in his mind, that the route to saving humanity is unspeakable horror, and he desperately wants it to be funny.
