Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : * Keith Peterson, of Lake Barrington, served 29 years as a press and cultural officer for the United States Information Agency and Department of State.
55% : Even though my own diplomatic career came after Kissinger had left government, I still found myself dealing with his legacy.
49% : A few years ago, I attended a lecture where historian Niall Ferguson explained how Henry Kissinger approached him at a cocktail reception to ask if Ferguson would be interested in writing a biography of the former secretary of state and national security adviser.
42% : If Kissinger were secretary of state or national security adviser today, I suspect he would not be all that bothered by the deaths of thousands of Palestinians and, despite his own Jewish heritage, would not have reacted emotionally to the events of Oct 7.
