Having experiencing an intellectual intercourse with Henry Kissinger may provide one the armory of ideas in the field of world politics as has been evident of the chapters talks being exchanged in this program,yet one may not fall in agreement of thoughts of what has been said by Henry Kissinger since the policy indoctrination_ that Mr Kissinger has orchestrated during his period of services as US secretary of States_ does not have positive memory prints, particularly his contribution to the warmongering policy dictates in Vietnam.

I made a mistake, it's actually chapters 4 and 5, not 3 and 4.

Bloody typical. Listen to chapter 3 and then chapter 4. Its hilarious, in 3 he talks about how terrorism is disrupting a world community that wants to live in peace, stability and prosperity and that terrorists shouldn't be regarded as citizens. Then in chapter 4 he turns around, literally after about 2mins and says that Afghanistan must be 'dealt with' - their future political structure to be decided basically in any way that the UK and US fancy. This is of course, accomplished by spoiling for a fight, and invading a country causing instability and poverty through war. Typical English empire hypocrisy - ornate and seemingly earnest, but lecturing, lecturing, to your face with a silver moonlight grim reaper glint in the eye that only privileged greed can nurture, matured by a life time of spoon feeding, reassurance and circumstance, followed swiftly, with a stark, brutally ignorant apathy thereafter - the naked, shameless, smug mass-murder, physical and mental maiming of the innocent all the while behind your back. But don't mind that, it's okay, he has a good way with words, his decision was made over five o'clock tea. Absolute utter cunt fucking insult to associate himself with the population's collective voice of common sense reason. We are not fucking deaf.

There is no climate change "problem". There's no such thing as a "global average temperature" - not that affects anything in any meaningful way. The "average" for 2004 was 58.28 degrees. I fail to see how that is a threat to anything. It doesn't change the temp at the South Pole (still -50 below).

I have changed my opinion of SoS Kissinger through the years - from one extreme to the other. My resolve being that I have come to respect his wisdom and ability to project a very sensible strategy and advice for those who have succeeded him. I found his comments during a panel last year with former SoS Albright, Powell, and Baker to espouse my sentiments. The panel was a special CNN Live show. If you go to CNN and search for his name and A World of Challenge, you will get the link directly to the program. It was an excellent show in my opinion.
