I think Henry Kissinger is one of those unifying things. It's amazing, black or white, communist or capitalist, east or west... everyone hated him

Oh! Is that why they gave him the Nobel piss prize?

Henry Kissinger How I'm missing yer You're the Doctor of my dreams
With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare And your machiavellian schemes I know they say that you are very vain And short and fat and pushy but at least you're not insane
Henry Kissinger How I'm missing yer And wishing you were here
Henry Kissinger How I'm missing yer You're so chubby and so neat
With your funny clothes and your squishy nose You're like a German parakeet All right so people say that you don't care But you've got nicer legs than Hitler And bigger tits than Cher
Henry Kissinger How I'm missing yer And wishing you were here.

Why does everyone hate him? What did he do?
From Wikipedia:
Due to his adherence to an approach to politics called Realpolitik, which prioritizes pragmatic geopolitical considerations over moral or ideological values, Kissinger has been criticized for turning a blind eye to war crimes committed by American allies during his tenure.[6]
A number of activists and human rights lawyers have sought to prosecute him for war crimes committed by American allies during his tenure.[8][150] Kissinger has been associated with such controversial policies as the U.S. bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, U.S. involvement in the 1973 Chilean military coup, a "green light" to Argentina's military junta for their Dirty War, and U.S. support for Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War despite a genocide being perpetrated.[255]
So the average secretary of state in the 20th century
At least the cartoon here is accurate in that you pluck one, but there are many others who are the same, some not even born yet.
