So when is Henry Kissinger going to give up that albatross around his neck?

[krispos42]

His Nobel Peace Prize from 1973?

He's been suffering the shame, humiliation, and embarassment for 36 years now. I'm sure that Robert F. Kennedy's estate would bite the bullet for an old friend and take it.



And Milton Friedman... his family MUST be tired of the social stigma of him having won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1976. Perhaps John Maynard Keynes' estate could be persuaded to take posession of it instead.



Kissinger, Friedman.... CAST OFF YOUR SHAME!!!!

4. Yeah, he must really hate the

company he's in.

5. Do you really think Kissinger deserved the Nobel Peace prize?

He was the major war policy adviser who helped kill 55,000 Americans and god knows how many Vietnamese.

6. Offhand, no

But I was born after he got it so I don't have the depth of understanding that older DUers have about him. Those that went through the Vietnam era have expressed pretty much universal distaste for the man, and I'm quite comfortable with that.

7. Kissinger is actually the reason I no longer look at the Nobel Peace Prize as a very big deal

I mean really, how many of us would want to be in the same club with Kissinger?

8. Will Le Duc Tho demand to be removed, too?

Ending an unpopular, bloody, war (one he didn't start) isn't enough?

9. Give it up? Don't you think he laughs his head off every time he sees it?

Who would give something like that up? People who just want to be sad, that's who.

10. Yasser Arafat too. nt
