Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa on Responsibility

ARCHBISHOP TUTU: Whilst one says 'yes,’ the leadership has to take a great deal of the blame. All human beings are moral creatures. Each single human being has to say, 'But I have to take responsibility if I’m told “go and murder.”’ And it’s not the same thing as ‘go and fight, and maybe kill in the process of fighting.’ But ‘go and murder, go and be part of a hit squad.’ They did. They carried out quite dastardly acts. They have to take responsibility.
