I agree completely about the attitude, but would blame a different group of people. To put it in terms as blunt as yours: when people are told lies from morning till night, and kept in cages for eighteen years until they're too broken to tell the difference between lies and truth, the real culprits for the disastrous results are not the victims of these policies.
