Kissinger is certainly an egomaniacal jerk but the weakness of this article is that it seems to blame the victory of the National Liberation Front and the Communist government in the North against American aggression in Vietnam on his incompetence rather than on the superior military skills of the Vietnamese under the leadership of Vo Nguyen Giap and the justice of the cause for national liberation. Incidentally, the total incompetence of the US military was a contributing factor as its continuing incompetence has shown to this very day (it has no generals who know how to win a war and only throws out money and death in its efforts to postpone defeat -- its the most expensive, destructive and useless organization in history and should be prevented from hoodwinking young American men and women into thinking they are somehow "serving their country" by joining it when it is merely a political extension of Republican and Democratic politicians furthering the interests of Wall Street Banks and Arms Manufacturers and the tool of fraudsters such as Kissinger.

Kissinger Rides Again
