Dave -claims- Henry Kissinger is an Unrepentant Terrorist

And make no mistake: Henry Kissinger has done things that, morally
speaking, make Ayers' actions, deplorable as some of them surely were,
look like the equivalent of jaywalking.
An abbreviated list of the events that have made it dangerous for
Kissinger to travel overseas, because of the possibility he would be
arrested as a war criminal, include: covertly sabotaging Vietnam peace
talks in 1968 in order to help get Richard Nixon elected; playing a key
role in convincing Nixon to launch illegal wars in Laos and Cambodia
(the latter action helped create the conditions that led to the
Cambodian genocide); helping to plan the overthrow of Chile's
democratically elected government, which included numerous
assassinations funded by the CIA (again, all this in direct violation of
international law); and helping to facilitate the Indonesian invasion of
East Timor, which may have killed as many as 200,000 civilians.
Kissinger appears to have had every bit as much contempt for the law as
Ayers, with the difference being that his brand of contempt led to
millions of deaths.
The other difference is that playing a key role in a radical political
movement that manages to take over the United States government is much
more likely to get you to continue to be invited to swank dinner parties
on the Upper East Side of New York, no matter how much blood may be on
your hands.
That social fact doesn't make Henry Kissinger more respectable than Bill
Ayers."
