I think people in general love to believe in conspiracies as much as they love to believe in alien abductions, supernatural goings-on in the Bermuda Triangle, the evils of Friday the 13th or the luck of a four-leaf clover.
We find it hard to accept that one individual nobody has the power and ability to make such an impact on the entire world, all by himself, without the urging, planning or support of at least one, or many, others. We feel there needs to be something more to it. We can't accept that
A did
B and caused
C, plain and simple, and X, Y, & Z had no role in it.
We also often seem to feel the need to have an incident embellished, exaggerated and sensationalized out of all proportion. If the facts don't have additional bells and whistles, it can't be the entire story.
