"You see: homosexuality, dope, immorality in general—these are the enemies of strong societies. That's why the communists and the left-wingers are pushing the stuff; they're trying to destroy us."
—Nixon in May 1971

Bob Woodward has documented that Henry Kissinger is a regular visitor to the White House and serves as an elder mentor to GW and confidential adviser to Dick Cheney.

This says it all. The Butcher of Cambodia, the mass murderer of Timor, the assassin of Pakistan, the overthrower of Democracy in Chile is the true architect of the Bush Doctrine.  The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are Viet Nam redux. The bombing of civilian populations, the blatant disregard for the Geneva Conventions, the Imperial Presidency, the arrogant, confrontational unilateralism of foreign policy, the total disrepect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights .... This is Kissinger.

Dr. K has the universal reputation for carrying a grudge, for exacting penalties, for conducting vendettas against anyone he deems an enemy in his personal quest for power.  Warrantless wiretapping, secret surveillance, torture, US secret prisons on foreign soil, the bellicose, jingoistic rhetoric out of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld's mouths - this is Kissinger.

I used to ask "Who are these people?" Now I know.
