I balk at calls for peace from Henry Kissinger, who didn't seem to have qualms at raining death on millions of innocent people for his own personal political gains. Nevertheless, I did read the article.

“War monger suggests peace”

Look at his track record! He’s wrong we need more war!

Do you think your straw man reflects what I posted?
It's not a straw man. Just pointing out the delicious irony.

You claim we shouldn't listen to Kissinger because he "didn't seem to have qualms at raining death on millions of innocent people".

Your logic being, don't listen to his calls for peace, what we need is war. Which would unavoidable result in "raining death on [..] innocent people"

I'm not claiming we need war at all. I am pointing out that Kissinger's road plan for peace is built on a false framework.
Exactly this. When the guy who never met a war he didn't like is telling you our current path is a bad idea, you had better fucking listen.
