WASHINGTON - Mr Henry Kissinger, whose very name is synonymous with US diplomacy, turns 100 on Saturday, feted by the American elite as others seethe that the ruthless Cold Warrior has never faced accountability.
Since leaving office in 1977, Mr Kissinger’s brand of realpolitik – the coldly cynical championing of power and national interests – has largely fallen out of favour as his successors preached moralism, but Mr Kissinger himself has if anything enjoyed greater repute. Long despised by the left, Mr Kissinger has come into the good graces of the mainstream of the Democratic Party.Ms Hillary Clinton after serving as secretary of state called Mr Kissinger “a friend” and said she “relied on his counsel,” while the incumbent, Mr Antony Blinken, teased Mr Kissinger about his stylishness when the elder statesman attended a State Department luncheon last year.
But Mr Brody said there would be a strong legal case on East Timor, where Mr Kissinger not only approved the invasion but ensured US weapons kept flowing to Indonesia’s military. On Bangladesh, Mr Kissinger wanted to preserve Pakistan as a secret channel between the United States and China.
