Re: where people are treated fairly and equally

ok you young whippersnappers probably don't know who that guy is - he was one of the best foreign policy gurus this nation has EVER seen

I remember Kissinger well. Among other achievements he was the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove in Stanley Kubrick's movie with that title. From your Wikipedia link:

"Kissinger played a key role in bombing Cambodia to disrupt PAVN and Viet Cong units launching raids into South Vietnam from within Cambodia's borders and resupplying their forces by using the Ho Chi Minh trail and other routes, as well as the 1970 Cambodian Incursion and subsequent widespread bombing of Khmer Rouge targets in Cambodia. The bombing campaign contributed to the chaos of the Cambodian Civil War, which saw the forces of leader Lon Nol unable to retain foreign support to combat the growing Khmer Rouge insurgency that would overthrow him in 1975."

"Kissinger himself said there were about 50,000 civilian casualties in the bombing."

"Along with North Vietnamese Politburo Member Le Duc Tho, Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on December 10, 1973."
