The German-born political scientist joined the Nixon administration in 1969 as the president’s national security advisor and was promoted to secretary of state in 1973. As the primary architect of the American bombing and invasion of Cambodia, Kissinger believed that these actions were necessary to prevent both Cambodia and South Vietnam from falling to communism.
No, I’m saying he isn’t the war criminal you think he is. Just as Dick Cheney, who can be accused of many things, didn’t make the decision to invade Iraq. Bush did.
Except that’s exactly what he did. He was the architect. Architects don’t build houses, but it’s ultimately their design. If something goes wrong with the design, it’s not the construction company’s fault. You seem to think that if a house collapses because it was designed to be structurally unsound, it’s the fault of the person who bought the land.
There would have been no secret bombing campaign if not for Kissinger and we wouldn’t have invaded Iraq without Cheney. They are absolutely, unequivocally war criminals.
No I’m not.

Fucking sad how people don’t know history that recent.
Lived it mate, and am well aware that his advice couldn’t be followed without Nixon.
Sorry… you’re saying he isn’t a war criminal because he didn’t make the final decision even though he planned the whole thing? Really?
Is Dick Cheney innocent despite being the architect of two wars that killed millions of people because George W. Bush had to say yes?
No, I’m saying he isn’t the war criminal you think he is. Just as Dick Cheney, who can be accused of many things, didn’t make the decision to invade Iraq. Bush did.
Are you really saying Dick Cheney isn’t a war criminal? This is insane.
I said dick Cheney could be accused of many things, but giving orders to invade Iraq isn’t one of them.

It is the fault of the person who ordered the house built.
Because architects who design flawed buildings are blameless?
