[edit] Good?

I have been inclined to think of this man as a monster. Have to say, not impressed with the good pile.


"Helped Tricky Dick open relations with China"

Mixed, also kicked Taiwan out of UN. Mao was the biggest mass murderer in history.

" and begin detente policies such as SALT."

Good. Definitely a point in his favour.

" Aided in the transition from British colonial rule to independence in Rhodesia."

African independence, sounds good right? Actually in this case no. Rhodesia wanted independence because it was an inherently racist state, and the UK actually wanted a transition which would favour black Africans. Ian Smith's white minority government caused problems leading to Robert Mugabe today.

" Took part in the negotiations to end the 1973 Yom Kippur War."

Can't comment on this other than as an ethnic Jew he was partisan. -Albannach (talk) 00:47, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

I took out the Rhodesia bit. The rest I don't feel qualified to comment about. When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird, shouts of welcome were heard!. 01:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
"Mixed, also kicked Taiwan out of UN. Mao was the biggest mass murderer in history." You mean the Dictatorship Period Taiwain? And irrelevant what Mao was, so was stalin, should we have left the soviets completely alone to do whatever as well, even if it flew against any kind of rational decision making?
"Can't comment on this other than as an ethnic Jew he was partisan." I know plenty of Ethnic Jews who hate Israel for whatever reasons, whats your point?

[edit] People he aspired to be

I've heard rumors that Kissinger favorite European political figure was none other than Prince Metternich. Is there anyway to varify if that's true or not? Because that would interesting if it is. Alsto003 (talk) 03:00, 12 August 2014 (UTC) Alex
