Another contributor over lunch yesterday raised the name of Dr Henry Kissinger, who has been accused of the following crimes as US Secretary of State:- Masterminding the US "secret bombing" of Cambodia in 1969-1975, killing an estimated 600,000 peasants
- Quietly supporting the subsequent Pol Pot regime
- Supporting Indonesian President Suharto, who is estimated to have killed over 1 million of his own people
- Giving the go-ahead to Indonesian President Suharto's invasion and occupation of East Timor
- Masterminding the bloody overthrow of democratically-elected Chilean President Salvador Allende by a right wing would-be junta of current and former Chilean military officers led by Pinochet
Giving a speech in UCC and avoiding answering any questions that he had not vetted beforehand, and then avoiding any informed debate with (admittedly) a bunch of smelly hippy students about his war crimes. What a tyrant!
