Henry Kissinger has died at age 100, his consulting firm said in a statement on Wednesday.
The infamy of Nixon’s foreign-policy architect sits, eternally, beside that of history’s worst mass murderers. A deeper shame attaches to the country that celebrates him
Measuring purely by confirmed kills, the worst mass murderer ever executed by the United States was the white-supremacist terrorist Timothy McVeigh. On April 19, 1995, McVeigh detonated a massive bomb at the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children. The government killed McVeigh by lethal injection in June 2001.
McVeigh, who in his own psychotic way thought he was saving America, never remotely killed on the scale of Kissinger…
author of the biography Kissinger’s Shadow, estimates that Kissinger’s …meant the end of between three and four million people.
Nah, I wish he’d live forever. Forever decaying, more frail and incapable with each passing day. Just wishing for the sweet release of death, but never actually getting it.

I almost wish I believed in a Hell for Kissinger to go to. Hopefully his grave will have a urinal installed.
“Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel peace prize.” -Tom Lehrer
Its so fucked up that he died outside of a prison cell.
US is a safe space for war criminals. 😇
