The German-born political scientist joined the Nixon administration in 1969 as the president's national security advisor and was promoted to secretary of state in 1973. As the primary architect of the American bombing and invasion of Cambodia, Kissinger believed that these actions were necessary to prevent both Cambodia and South Vietnam from falling to communism.
No, I'm saying he isn't the war criminal you think he is. Just as Dick Cheney, who can be accused of many things, didn't make the decision to invade Iraq. Bush did.
Except that's exactly what he did. He was the architect. Architects don't build houses, but it's ultimately their design. If something goes wrong with the design, it's not the construction company's fault. You seem to think that if a house collapses because it was designed to be structurally unsound, it's the fault of the person who bought the land.
There would have been no secret bombing campaign if not for Kissinger and we wouldn't have invaded Iraq without Cheney. They are absolutely, unequivocally war criminals.
