Only Speak Good of the Dead.

Good!

Henry Kissinger is dead.

He was a war criminal, an arranger of Latin American coups, an enemy of democracy, a friend to tyrants and a Russian apologist. He will be missed by dictators and autocrats.

The opinion of another dead man:

"Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg." -- Anthony Bourdain

"I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction." -- Clarence Darrow

"Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize." -- Tom Lehrer
