When people go after her, I wonder, "What about Kissinger?" He was part of a lot of cold hard decisions in tough times on the world. That said, I would enjoy his counsel if I wanted to get involved in China. Similar with her, though her expertise may be more in Russia.
My (non-expert) observation is she was pushed and marginalized by the hawks. And although the war sounds bad now, the country was very much for it back then.
- sitkack 13y agoKissinger is widely and wildly despised. East Timor, Cambodia and extending the Vietnam war by years is his bullshit legacy. If someone can reincarnated before they die, then Kissinger => Condoleeza
- mathattack 13y agoYes - this is my point. He is despised, but still is knowledgable, and I'd listen to him about China. Granted this is about tapping specific knowledge. I would never hire someone with a morality deficit as an employee. (And maybe it would be dangerous to have one as the CEO's boss)
- sitkack 13y agoI have thought about this, and given his amoral behavior and deeply rooted ulterior motives I could not trust a single thing he said, or even how he said it. There are plenty of experts on subject matter that are not equivalently tainted. side note: this is really weird meeting http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10095943/Osborne-Clarke-and-Balls-to-attend-Bilderberg-Group-meeting.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10095943/Osborne-Cl...
- mathattack 13y agoFair enough. People rarely only sell half their soul.
