Dr. Henry Kissinger Dies at Age 100
I’ve never understood this line of thinking. Can someone explain why there’s a “don’t speak ill of the dead” sentiment?
Death is the great equalizer and I definitely celebrate when people who think themselves and act higher than their fellow humans die.
It is said ‘don’t speak ill of the dead’ because they are no longer present to defend themselves.
In this case the man is so steeped in evil that there is only ill to be said about him.
I mean, I wouldn’t mind helping out in certain cases.
No you take a break honey, I got this one.
I don’t know that I agree.
If anything, culture has become more in line with Kissinger’s ideals, not less.
Kissinger won in life. It’s that simple.
At least he got the same prize in the end as every other human who ever has and ever shall draw breath on this globe we curse.
Feast well, worms.
The Yale University historian Greg Grandin, author of the biography Kissinger’s Shadow, estimates that Kissinger’s actions from 1969 through 1976, a period of eight brief years when Kissinger made Richard Nixon’s and then Gerald Ford’s foreign policy as national security adviser and secretary of state, meant the end of between three and four million people. That includes “crimes of commission,” he explained, as in Cambodia and Chile, and omission, like greenlighting Indonesia’s bloodshed in East Timor; Pakistan’s bloodshed in Bangladesh; and the inauguration of an American tradition of using and then abandoning the Kurds.
