This is TOTALLY a threadjack, but.. That's the first time I've ever heard anyone suggest that Adolf Hilter himself wasn't personally the architect of the holocaust. Is it true? I mean, his name is on
Mein Kampf...
(To unthreadjack the threadjack) Even if it's untrue, it illustrates one point: the leader is the one accountable. Even if it was Hitler's henchmen who did the deed, Hitler is the one ultimately held responsible in the eyes of history. That's a lesson that today's CYA-happy administration would do well to learn.
