Henry Kissinger, how I'm missin ya

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2002.07.03

I saw a fleeting reference to Henry Kissinger on a news clip about the international war crimes court that's being set up at the UN.

There's an author in the 'States that's repeating the summary of Kissinger's career by calling the man a war criminal. How fitting, I suppose, that he should have had a position of honour at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000, handing out awards. As I told my then girlfriend at the time, "Ah the sights you see without a *****.".

A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing.
