I can't speak to what Hitler and Obama (laughs hysterically) or even Bush believed to be true about themselves and their actions. I can make an educated guess that THEY don't believe they were pawns. Can you imagine going to bed at night "perceiving" the weight of the world on your shoulders?
I find it deliciously interesting that people throw around the term "pawn" as if it were something foreign. Many of us are pawns in one way or another; either by someone else in a position of power or our own perceptions. We can believe we are in control. Most of us are not. Manipulation comes in many forms.
There is a relatively high amount of self actualization floating in these forums however ... so Maslow would be proud. I am still on the food and shelter bit of the hierarchy of needs so what do I know anyway??
