I doubt many people really hold Kissinger in "high regard."
- smacktoward 10y agoYou might be surprised. In Washington he's managed to achieve "elder statesman" status, disgustingly.
- blahi 10y agoBecause he was very effective.
- travmatt 10y agoHillary Clinton and many in similar high circles they absolutely do. The ones actually crafting American foreign policy.
- whyenot 10y agoThere is also a personal connection. The Clintons and the Kissingers also usually spend Christmas together at Oscar del la Renta's villa in the Dominican Repulic [as has been widely reported by Gawker and other "tabloids"].
- finid 10y agoActually, many do. The current crop of those running the country worship him. H. Clinton was on the line to him whenever she needed to figure something out.
- tomjen3 10y agoHe is a monster, but he is also extremely, extremely brilliant . If he would take my call I would be on the line with him all the time too. If you only take advice from nice people, how can you then understand evil?
- draw_down 10y agoOh, on the contrary. And really it shouldn't be surprising, war criminals can be quite popular.
