Fred, 'twas you, methinks, who was "assigning blame" for not stopping Hitler. I quote: All it would have taken is the energy and power of ONE individual to stop Hitler. But the world winked/blinked and said "let's not go there" until too much time had lapsed and we were forced to accept the responsibility to stand up for the rights of individuals to live in freedom. Reads to me like this: the gutless world "winked and blinked" (blame!) until it was too late to do anything except go to war. Now if ONE individual had only stood up before. it might have been a different story. Meaning, there was NO such individual (blanket blame). By pointing out that quite a few individuals HAD stood up and tried to stop Hitler before the war broke out, without success, I was not blaming them for failing, but implicitly praising them for trying.
