The ambassador to the aliens is one Dr. K... :)

            Laying the blame for all those deaths on one man is juvenle. All of those situations were far more complex than the author(s) would have us believe.

              Henry Kissinger was an unindicted war criminal for his actions regarding Cambodia alone. That just is. Some people do terrible things. That's a thing that happens. That happened here.

                I wholeheartedly disagree... but any explanation I might offer would far exceed the "no politics" rules here so I won't open that door. Suffice it to say I believe the world "as a whole" is in a better place because of Dr. Kissinger.

                    Indeed you don't award the Nobel peace prize to war criminals.

                      That's exactly what that prize is so controversial for

                        Well, Time Magazine's had both Hitler and Bin Laden nominated as Person of the Year. These things don't necessarily always mean what most people think they mean.
