	Henry Kissinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kissinger attended George Washington High School at night and worked in a shaving-brush factory during the day while attending City College of New York, in 1943, he was drafted into the army, trained at Clemson College in South Carolina, and became a German interpreter for the 970th Counter Intelligence Corps.
		Kissinger has been rumored to be the only person to receive a perfect grade point average from Harvard, but in fact he received one B in his senior year.
		Kissinger was not connected with the Watergate scandal that would eventually ruin Nixon and many of his closest aides; this greatly increased Kissinger's reputation as he became known as the "clean man" of the bunch.

	AEI - Short Publications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Kissinger not only continues to comment on international issues, he has made himself the leading proponent of a philosophy of foreign policy called "realism." In the jargon, "realism" connotes a distinctive interpretation of how states behave and a prescription for how the United States ought to act.
		Kissinger is not only a realist in the specialized meaning of that term, he is also a realist in the more prosaic sense.
		Kissinger’s realist convictions, is its critique of the recent trend "to submit international politics to judicial procedures." This was manifest in Spain’s efforts to extradite former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and in the proposal to create an international criminal court.

	The Kissinger State Department Telcons
		Kissinger was a little defensive because the conservatives had been criticizing the CSCE for validating the boundaries of post-World War II Europe.
		Kissinger makes plain his well known indifference to the CSCE: "It isn't something I'm proud of." The State Department's excisions of the comments on the well-known Halperin case against Kissinger are good examples of the abuse of the privacy exemption in processing these documents.
		Kissinger was touched by the call from his "Marxist friend." The last part of the conversation refers to State Department comments to the press about the emigration of Soviet Jews which Kissinger had previously told Dobrynin had been badly worded.

		Kissinger got through the Nixon years relatively unscathed, but when he served as secretary of state in Gerald Ford's administration, he was savaged by Republican conservatives, including Republican presidential aspirant Ronald Reagan.
		First, Kissinger, who is capable of writing with clarity, turned delphic in his pronouncements, writing what appears on the surface to be an endorsement of the president's position but what is in fact a vigorous dissent.
		Kissinger knows that the Bush administration is approaching Iraq the same way it has Afghanistan -- as a military rather than a political and diplomatic mission -- and that if it attempts to meet these conditions, it will never get around to firing off its missiles at Baghdad.

		Kissinger sees the problem but cannot adequately face the solution: better agencies for global governance now that governance can be left neither to a hegemon that is part of the problem nor to the anarchy of shrinking states.
		Kissinger is rather silent on the possibilities that reformed and strengthened collective institutions might offer--even though their members are states, which, as a good Westphalian, he trusts more than he does jurists.
		And Kissinger's own proposals for an alternative to the ICC would leave the punishment of the authors of war crimes or crimes against humanity in the hands of the UN Security Council--that is, in the throes of politics, often untempered by norms.

	The Claremont Institute: Mediocrity Wasn't In His Vocabulary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Kissinger's argument is based on a comparison between the intellectual and historical roots of two great diplomatic traditions, the European and American, and what this comparison teaches us about their relative strengths and weaknesses.
		Kissinger is clearly attracted to the intellectual challenge of the game of diplomacy: a few men at the summit, effectively isolated from the hurly-burly of domestic politics, playing a game of strategic chess with all Europe as the board.
		For Kissinger, Churchill and Reagan properly understood that the United States was in a strong position with respect to the Soviet bloc; and that through astute diplomacy, backed by military strength, it was possible both to avoid war and also to negotiate agreements with Moscow that would be to the West's advantage.

		The essence of shuttle diplomacy is the use of a third party to convey information back and forth between the parties, serving as a reliable means of communication less susceptible to the grandstanding of face-to-face or media-based communication.
		The notion of shuttle diplomacy is said to have emerged from Henry Kissinger's efforts in the Middle East in the early 1970s.
		The diplomatic innovation of shuttle diplomacy was made possible by modern communication technologies and air transportation, which permits the mediator to travel easily between the negotiating parties.

		Kissinger's approach to the world is based on the great European diplomatic tradition often referred to as realpolitik as it developed from the 17th to the 19th centuries.
		Kissinger particularly criticizes the American view that the Soviet Union was an ideological rather than a geopolitical threat.
		American diplomacy need not be reduced to crusading internationalism or pacifistic isolationism, as long as the people and their leaders remain true to themselves.

		That work has entailed international consulting and writing some very good books: his memoirs and a splendid book on diplomacy, pithily titled "Diplomacy." He has also continued to engage in diplomacy, and my guess is that this is what he was doing when he appeared in the news this week.
		Kissinger, as he has demonstrated all his professional life, believes in addressing such concerns with diplomacy.
		When Kissinger was asked about Cheney's remonstrance, a remonstrance that angered President Putin, our former secretary of state affirmed his "confidence in the Russian evolution." What a splendid choice of words.

		Kissinger authored in 1994 an important work "Diplomacy" which analysed with his usual perception the twists and turns of diplomatic history from the 18th century to the present times.
		Kissinger emphasises that India was acting as the Soviet Union’s "proxy" and he and Nixon secretly and deceptively tilted US policy towards Pakistan.
		Kissinger writes, "We want to keep the pressure on India both militarily and politically." In his talks Kissinger was at pains to emphasise that détente with the Soviet Union was in no way designed to isolate China or to render it vulnerable.

	Lessons of Kissinger's diplomacy \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Their diplomacy is driven not by emotion or abstract moral principle or past practice, but by the bedrock of mutual interest.
		Kissinger noted that America's good relations with Iran while he was secretary of state during the early 1970s were based on U.S. national interest, rather than the personality of the shah or the domestic political system in Iran at that time.
		Thinking about Kissinger's opening to China, it seems to me that one clear lesson for the Bush administration is that it shouldn't be overly cautious in its engagement with Iran.

		Last Friday Henry Kissinger told US President George W. Bush about his resignation from the post of chairman of the commission intended to investigate the September 11 attacks, which became rather unexpected for the US president.
		An official version of his resignation given by Kissinger himself is inability to combine the jobs of the commission's chairman and the chief of Kissinger Associates, political consulting firm.
		Kissinger's rejection of the post became a cruel sign at the end of his political career and a painful blow against George W. Bush's pride.

		Kissinger's central premise seems to be that the United States has swung back and forth between Wilsonian Idealism and a more pragmatic/Realpolitik perspective in which a nation is primarily responsible for looking out for its own best interests.
		Kissinger mixtures historical facts with his personal opinions, dissecting what happened and trying to draw conclusions that allow the reader to discern long term trends in history, thus enabling him/her to really understand what happened.
		Lost among all this is the reality that Kissinger had to work in; a world of unequal powers, each with their own wants and needs.
