buffycat Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 With discussion of whether Castro should be tried for war crimes/crimes against humanity in another sub forum, I thought I'd chime in with the posting of this video link: The Trials of Henry Kissinger While not an overt fan of Hitchens, this is quite an extraordinary historical video, and certainly a must see for younger folk (those who don't recall the war in Vietnam, nor the associated problems in Cambodia as well as the turmoil instigated by the US under the authorship of Kissinger in Chile.) Well presented and argued. I only wish that old Henry wasn't the spitting image of my uncle... So, should Kissinger be tried for crimes against humanity? Keep in mind he's the dude who wants to see food used as a weapon. Quote "An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind" ~ Ghandi
DogOnPorch Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Good ol' Henry. The 'good cop' in the 'good cop-bad cop' combo of he and Nixon. Not sure he deserves the full magilla of a war crimes trial. What point in particular would he be tried on again? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Burns: Thank you for visiting our plant, Dr. Kissinger. Henry Kissinger: It was fun. Smithers: We'll let you know if your glasses turn up. Henry Kissinger: Yes, well, I'm sure I left them in the car. [thinking] Henry Kissinger: No one must know I dropped my glasses in the toilet. Not I, the man who drafted the Paris Peace Accords. ---The Simpsons Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Helping end the cold war by establishing detente with russia and paving the way for Nixon to go to China. Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us

Ahhh, yes...right......HANG HIM! HANG HIM!! ---------------------------------- Sir B--: How do you know she is a witch? Peasant: She turned me into a newt... Sir B--: A Newt?

Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
