Hmm. Well, can we blame the Valar? Sauron corrupted the Numenoreans, yes, but if they are men, is that a feasable excuse? Who made Men weaker willed?

However Men do share some blame, for with great power comes great responsibility. Ar-Pharazon taking Sauron to the home front, not a good idea. He should have seen past his pride. But he was raised that way. So following backwards to Ar-Adunakor, he was the first big "oo un uhnnn i do what I want" guy, but that was a feeling that pestered all Numenoreans deep down. So that leads back to their creator. But it was going to happen, right? Things worked out at the Dagorath afterall.
