Henry Kissinger dead at 100

trivia question: how many other former Secretary of State can you name without googling them?

He was only in office for 4 years, plus another 4 as NSA, but his influence on Amercian foreign policy was immense.

In foreign policy debates with friends, I am often accused of being a Kissinger-clone (which I take as a huge compliment) because I follow his brand of "RealPolitik", i.e. you have to deal with the world as it is, not as you wish it would be.

To a life well lived, RIP SIR.
