R.J. Eskow on Kissinger

See his substack piece: The Memorial Day Losses Will Not End While This Man Walks the Earth

Today, Kissinger’s disciples are carrying on his work. Consider, for example, the under-reported fact that US generals — the presumed experts on waging war — have been consistently overruled by Anthony Blinken, Kissinger’s successor as Secretary of State. 

Blinken is a Kissinger fanboy. A Harvard classmate recalls that young Tony interviewed Kissinger for his senior thesis:

“The fact that he would seek an interview respectfully with Henry Kissinger was like the epitome of being a moderate in our generation. Most Harvard people of the early ’80s wanted to meet Henry Kissinger so they could put him on trial for war crimes.”

An inartfully phrased headline left the impression, at least to one of my trusted advisors, that I was taking a darker position on Henry Kissinger than I intended. My intention was simply to contrast Kissinger’s long life with the short lives of the war dead. His crimes must be remembered, but that is not a call for revenge.

Someone commented somewhere else, referring to Kissinger, "Imagine being so evil that they don't even want you in hell!"
