SCOTT RITTER: Kissinger - War Criminal Who Saved the World

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : There will be those who, with reason, choose to remember Henry Kissinger harshly because of policies he formulated and implemented that could, with just cause, be characterized as crimes against humanity.
50% : Following my resignation from the United Nations in August 1998, I received an invitation from Teddy Forstmann, one of the founders of the private equity corporation Forstmann & Little, to fly to Aspen, Colorado, to speak as part of an annual policy discussion forum that brought together the "best and the brightest" in the world under a single roof where the issues of the day would be addressed.
49% : Following my assignment as an arms inspector in the Soviet Union, I returned to the Marine Corps, where, from August 1990 until August 1998, my life was defined by Iraq -- first through Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and then later, as a weapons inspector with the United Nations tasked with overseeing the disarmament of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs.
46% : Much is being written about the former national security advisor and secretary of state over the next days and weeks, some of it glowing, much of it condemning.
