Why does Hillary Clinton praise Henry Kissinger? A friend
said to me :
“But he was so . . .
wrong . . . “
My friend does not understand.
The problem is, he wasn’t. Not from where Clinton stands.
The Hawkish Neoliberal Corporatists see the world, and history differently than
you and I. In their mind, the Vietnam War, the Cambodian excursions, these were
necessary. South-East Asia needed to be brought down. Popular regimes had to
topple. What little infrastructure there was needed to be destroyed. The
fighter needed to be killed. This was the program. The Dominos were real, they
just weren’t the dominos we were told about. This needed doing to create (or
maintain) the slave labor class the multinational corporations needed to stitch
clothes and build bike parts. This was the plan.
From where the Center Right Clinton System stands, Kissinger
is a hero. Of course she runs to him.
