Kissinger was brilliant. No other Sec of State since was as respected by our enemies since. I can think of few others who did more than Kissinger to thwart Soviet influence in the western hemisphere.
cant believe some of the non sense im reading here. What him and Nixon were handed in 1969, its a miracle the US came out of that as well as it did. 600,000 troops stuck in Vietnam...Soviets had 9 million troops from the inter-german border all the way back to moscow. China stunned the world by getting a nuclear weapon...a billion people with a nuclear weapon simply CANT be ignored. Kennedy was secretly bombing Laos and Cambodia years before Nixon did. Kennedy and especially Johnson scewed up the Vietnam war so badly....Kissinger and Nixon were brilliant men...and did a brilliant job.
