    One of Henry Kissingers ideas.

    Yep. He was an absolute monster. This quote by Anthony Bourdain always comes to mind when he gets brought up:

    “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

      Instead he got given a Nobel Peace Prize and went on to help more people commit genocides in other countries. An incredibly evil person.

      The fact that Bourdain died young and Kissinger lived to be 100 proves that the world is not a just place.
