You're the one who decided to explicitly compare Kissinger with Milosevic. Milosevic was trialed for his role in he Bosnian genocide, among other war crimes. If you cannot understand why Milosevic was on trial but Kissinger wasn't then please explain, in your own word, what did Kissinger do that was worse than genocide of his own people.

Milosevic was tried not for genocide against his own group of people, but an opposing ethnic/religious group in a civil war. Are you trying to say that because the area where the conflict took place was within the boundaries of the former state of Yugoslavia, the people his forces killed were "his own people"? Perhaps you may wish to familiarize yourself with the ethnic and religious differences between the Serbian forces commanded by Milosevic and the persons they killed.

  I’m curious as well, what did Kissinger do that puts in the same category as Milosevic?

Haldeman, noted that the final decision to carpet bomb Cambodia 'was made at a meeting in the Oval Office Sunday afternoon, after the church service'. In his diary on 17 March 1969, Haldeman wrote: Historic day. K[issinger]'s "Operation Breakfast" finally came off at 2:00 pm our time. K really excited, as is P[resident]. And the next day: K's "Operation Breakfast" a great success. He came beaming in with the report, very productive. A lot more secondaries than had been expected. Confirmed early intelligence. Probably no reaction for a few days, if ever. "

      > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Menu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Menu Did you missed the part of your own source where it says that the operation targetted North Vietnamese Army bases within Cambodja? Does that count as a genocide at all, let alone a worse genocide than Milosevic's Bosnian genocide?

  > Milosevic was tried not for genocide against his own group of people, but an opposing ethnic/religious group in a civil war. Wrong. Milosevic was trialed for his role on the Bosnian genocide, which included the assassinations of Bosnian serbs. Even if you believe that although Milosevic was president of Yugoslavia then no breakaway Yugoslav republic can be counted as his people, you can't turn a blind eye to Bosnian serbs.
