Who's to Blame??

This week I have found the topic of the Hitler Myth to be of most interest to me. In the reading the author states that Hitler's inner circle perhaps perpetuated the myth so much then Adolf Hitler himself began to believe he was invincible. This made me think that in society we do this a lot... letting the little kid who can't sing believe they have a voice like an angel or letting people who aren't very attractive think their God's gift to Earth. We do things like this by human nature to not hurt those around us but then this perpetuation of an untruth leads the person to believe it to be the truth and they do something like embarrass themselves on American Idol or in Hitler's case, attempt world domination. Now while these two instances are not comparable in any form, they both lead to emanate failure. So the question is who is to blame?? Do we blame the loving parent for encouraging their obviously talentless child or do we blame the kid who grows up believing their parents encouragement rather than seeking the truth? I thought about this in my analysis of Hitler. I like most, are quick to blame Adolf Hitler for all of the atrocities of World War II and the Holocaust. But many of us know from first hand experience they humans tend to start believing what they are told continually and of course one wants to fulfill and live up to the praise and hype surrounding their name, whether it's false in actuality or not. I started to think maybe it wasn't Hitler's fault he basically went on a power rampage. He had to know his pitfalls from the beginning, so in order to conceal them he had to find and execute the quickest solution to fulfill all of the hype surrounding him. His successes would lead to more praise by not only his inner circle but the world also(don't forget he was Time's Man of the Year). I don't think in hindsight we will ever know anything about the real Adolf Hitler, because he was transformed into Hitler by those around him. So do we blame the man who tried to live up to the name or do we blame those who indirectly created the entity we know as Hitler??
