Henry Kissinger, how I'm missin ya

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a 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 *****.".

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
