The wit and wisdom of Henry Kissinger:

"The illegal we can do right now; the unconstitutional will take a little longer." " Why should we flagellate ourselves for what the Cambodians did to each other?" Henry Kissinger, about the genocide in Cambodia perpetrated by the U.S.-supported Pol Pot regime "The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves." "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people." Henry Kissinger commenting on Chile, prior to Augusto Pinochet's U.S.-supported / CIA-facilitated military coup against Chile's democratically-elected President Salvador Allende " Not a nut or bolt shall reach Chile under Allende. Once Allende comes to power we shall do all within our power to condemn Chile and all Chileans to utmost deprivation and poverty..." U.S. Ambassador to Chile, three years before the US-supported coup against Chile's elected President Allende
