    There was a very thought-provoking piece in the Times Literary Supplement by Niall Ferguson that compares polemics against Kissinger (Hitchens's The trial of Henry Kissinger, for example) with polemics against the Rothschild family. Perhaps the fact that Kissinger is Jewish is a major factor in the almost outsize hate that surrounds him.

    Henry the K tried to pick me up at the Mayfair restaurant on the East Side quite a few years ago. The sound of his gravelly voice hinting at his desire to show me a very good time will haunt me to my dying day.

    I had to have my breakfast dinner at Cafe des Artistes next to effing Donald Rumsfield two years ago. Almost ruined my appetite.


    I had to bite my tongue, but I was like: time/place?


    This is totes fair game though.

    @pacific_reporter: At least McNamara realized it eventually.


    If you have never seen "The Fog of War", I highly recommend it. It will almost make you feel a little sorry for the guy. Not that he would even call himself a sympathetic figure, but you do get the sense that he was coming clean, and that what he was saying was finally the real truth. So when he does say that he was wrong, but he was caught up in a system that wanted him to make the decisions he made, it doesn't sound like an excuse. And he gets very specific about all the mistakes that were made - things that he vigorously defended right up until that documentary.


    Will Rumsfeld one day have such an epiphany? It won't suddenly make it all better if he does, but at least it would vindicate all those who criticized his decisions, which would (you would hope) make it less likely for others to repeat them.

    There's a simple rule to follow: If anything you do involves people dying, and it cannot be justified as true self defense, it is indefensible.

    Seeing Kissinger and JA together in the same picture is what makes the Internet worth all the time and the trouble it demands.
