(About the Author-Fred Branfman is an American anti-war activist and author of a number of books about the Indochina War. Working as the Director of Project Air War in 1969 he wrote about the U.S. bombing in Indochina, which he claimed was directed at civilians)
He( Henry Kissenger) ruined the lives of millions of Indochinese innocents and overthrew democratically elected governments, yet he keeps being rewarded and
lauded.
Henry Kissinger’s quote recently released by Wikileaks,”the illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer”,likely brought a smile to his legions of elite media, government, corporate and high society admirers. Oh that Henry! That rapier wit!
That trademark insouciance! That naughtiness! It is unlikely, however,
that the descendants of his more than 6 million victims in Indochina,
and Americans of conscience appalled by his murder of non-Americans,
will share in the amusement. For his illegal and unconstitutional
actions had real-world consequences: the ruined lives of millions of
Indochinese innocents in a new form of secret, automated, amoral U.S.
Executive warfare which haunts the world until today.And his
conduct raises even more fundamental questions: to what extent can
leaders who act secretly ,illegally and unconstitutionally, lying to
their citizenry and legislature as a matter of course, legitimately
claim to represent their people? How much allegiance do citizens owe
such leaders? And what does it say about America’s elites that they have
honored a man with so much innocent blood on his hands for the past 40
years? Read full article by clicking on link below:
