Kissinger is the best thing that ever happened....to China.

A) Because he kick-started the policy of encouraging our craven CEOs to move most of our manufacturing there, as a way to distance them from the Soviets (which, alas, didn't make them a U.S. ally either);

and B) Because nobody in the last century has done more to undermine U.S. standing abroad - especially in the third world - than Kissinger. Nobody.

Kissinger became synonymous with the "ugly American" foreign policy.

The fact that he was an immigrant only underscored that perception - as it's no secret in other countries that immigrants to the U.S. often become "more Catholic than the Pope" (as the Spanish put it) in order to ingratiate themselves with those who might boost their careers.

That was always his guiding light: his career - the national interest (to say nothing of the world's!) be damned.

And now, he is.
