I got the same message out of it as Taxi Driver- that society is so starved for heroes, that they'll embrace any bastard that seems to fill the role. Look at the media blowback in the last part of the film- the guy whose wife Alex and his droogs raped gets punishment when all he was after was justice (granted, not the kind society smiles upon), while Alex, the real fiend, is treated like a media darling because of the process he was put through in prison and goes scot free- and he is one of the last people that needs to be out on the streets.

A great movie, and the fact that lots of people have different interpretations of it is a testament to that.
