Henry Kissinger, the former Secretary of State in the Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford administrations, has died at the age of 100. Kissinger is perhaps best known for his role in opening relations with Communist China. He won a share of the Nobel Peace Prize after hammering out an agreement with the Vietnamese to end the Vietnam War.
“Our objective,” Kissinger once wrote, “was to purge our foreign policy of all sentimentality.”
His consulting firm announced his death on Wednesday. No cause was given. Here’s more from Fox News.
Not everyone was bemoaning Henry Kissinger’s death. Styxhexenhammer666 calls Kissinger a “war-mad” bureaucrat who never saw a global conflict where he could avoid stirring the pot.
