Kissinger-- expanded war in SE Asia
Hillary-- wants to expand wars in SW Asia

Kissinger-- supported coup in Chile
Hillary-- supported coup in Honduras

And because Jimmy Carter listened to Kissinger, he allowed the Shah of Iran to enter the US, which triggered the Iranian occupation of the US Embassy in Tehran which ultimately led to Carter's defeat in the 1980 election.

Really, Kissinger should be a pariah, rather than an "elder statesman"
