Entry: The Kissinger Pardon Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/kissingers_lettre_de_cachet#2698 Post contents: The pedestrian character of how these foreign policy wonks think fascinates me. You think ... PhD in some humanities field, experience in international trade, complex issues matrices, and so on. But no, it's "We need to humiliate them," or "We need to kick around some crappy little country to show we need business." Makes you realize that it's not brilliance but connections that results in high-level appointments. Certainly, the quality of thought isn't "high-level". Sent at: 2008 05 16
