but the truth is the truth

...it still surprises me how people can write that one off...

I would say I am surprised, but...

Henry is wanted for various crimes in most countries around the world. His travel opportunities are extremely limited. That he gets to come on our TV machines and expound is beyond belief. How he is held up as a statesman and a man who's opinions are somehow important says as much about our fawning corporate media as it does about us. He's a murderous, heartless, pox on humanity and he can chew on a turd for all I care.

full of NY pols.

invitations to prominent social events. But then, like all un-prosecuted war criminals, he has powerful friends.

running neck and neck to the finish line. Did I say running, more like crawling like the old snakes they are.

But not surprising he's in attendance
He gets invited to lots of things in NY
I was appalled he was on the final Colbert Report

...he is considered a survivor of the Nixon Administration - meaning not involved in the corruption. He was considered a success in foreign policy, which seems odd now - to say the least. I do think, in hindsight, Kissinger's reputation should suffer.

Kissinger was a little before my time, why all the hate? Is it one incident or a bevy of them?

Thanks.

installed Pinochet in Chile in the 9/11 coup

secret bombing campaign in Laos

continued the unwinnable Vietnam war which cost ten of thousands of US lives and countless Vietnamese lives

are some highlights

The origin of the U.S.-backed military coup in Chile was that the Socialist candidate, Salvadore Allende, had become President as a result of a free election.

Kissinger's rationale: "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people."

We seem to have a long history of jacking around with elected leaders,in south and Central America.

Will definitely give it a look.

Tom Lehrer, one of my favorite satirists, threw up his hands and quit when Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

All he did in the Nixon years was to soak the world in blood. We'd have had the opening to China even if he had never lived to bomb Cambodia.

currently alive from this country.

not flying around in a corporate jet grubbing money for his "consulting" and being treated as an elder statesman.
