Henry Kissinger, Hillary Clinton’s Tutor in War and Peace

14. Why not address the Clintons' real-life connections to Kissinger in the OP?

For instance, NAFTA:

With NAFTA, U.S. Finally Creates a New World Order

By Henry A. Kissinger
Op-Ed, 18 July 1993, Los Angeles Times

Before the end of summer, President Bill Clinton will ask Congress to approve the North American Free Trade Agreement, linking the United States with Canada and Mexico in a free-trade area comprising a population of 370 million and a gross national product of $6 trillion.

It will represent the most creative step toward a new world order taken by any group of countries since the end of the Cold War, and the first step toward the even larger vision of a free-trade zone for the entire Western Hemisphere.

And yet, recent polls show that barely half the American people have even heard of it.

The sole dictatorship remaining in the Western Hemisphere is Cuba; state-run enterprises are being privatized; nationalistic, protectionist methods of economic management are replaced by export-oriented economies hospitable to foreign investment and supportive of open trading systems.

As the only nationally elected U.S. leader, Clinton is in the best position to put NAFTA into a broad strategic framework and explain why it serves the national interest. He must not permit the treaty’s opponents to define NAFTA as a problem of economic arithmetic.
In this task, the President is entitled to bipartisan support. NAFTA’s key provisions were concluded during the Bush Administration; its supplementary agreements are being negotiated in the Clinton Administration. But NAFTA is so vital to prospects for global progress that it merits a demonstration of nonpartisan unity.

When all the major Latin American countries have raised their sights to a new partnership based on values the U.S. has espoused for decades, a retreat from it by America would be a shattering blow.
Most studies suggest the nation would gain more jobs than it would lose - though the problem is that those who lose jobs are not usually the ones who benefit from gains in employment.

Nonetheless, let us not delude ourselves: The movement of U.S. industry to Mexico, cited by many NAFTA critics, has occurred despite current tariff barriers, which are already low. What the critics are seeking is not just a defeat of NAFTA, but an increase in tariffs against Mexico. Such a policy would put an end to any hope of a new Western Hemisphere relationship and encourage the rise of nationalism.
For Mexico has been in the vanguard of the revolution sweeping the Western Hemisphere. Not so long ago, its foreign policy was defined by anti-US rhetoric and its economic policy by statist leftwing attitudes.
