I haven't seen any reactions to this yet so maybe that decides the bet:
"Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that even Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a "good" person. The Men In Black star, 39, is determined to see the best in people, and is convinced the former German leader did not fully understand the extent of the pain and suffering his actions would cause during his time in power in the 1930s and '40s.
He says, "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today'. "I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming."

Smith's comment does have an element of truth in it insofar as Hitler does seem to have genuinely believed that the Jews were the enemies of his beloved German Volk. But truth seems never to be a defence in these matters.
