Line 30:

A Jewish refugee who fled [[Nazi Germany]] with his family in 1938, he became National Security Advisor in 1969 and U.S. Secretary of State in 1973. For his actions negotiating a ceasefire in Vietnam, Kissinger received the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize under controversial circumstances, with two members of the committee resigning in protest. Kissinger later sought, unsuccessfully, to return the prize after the ceasefire failed.

A practitioner of ''Realpolitik'', Kissinger played a prominent role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period, he pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union, orchestrated the opening of relations with the People's Republic of China, engaged in what became known as shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East to end the [[Yom Kippur War]], and negotiated the Paris Peace Accords, ending American involvement in the Vietnam War.

Kissinger has also been associated with such controversial policies as U.S. involvement in the 1973 Chilean military coup, a "green light" to Argentina's [[National Reorganization Process]] for their [[Dirty War]], and U.S. support for Pakistan during the Bangladesh War despite the [[genocide]] being perpetrated by his allies. After leaving government, he formed Kissinger Associates, an international geopolitical consulting firm. Kissinger has written over one dozen books on diplomatic history and international relations.

Line 48:

He oversaw the overthrow of the government and its replacement with the regime of [[Augusto Pinochet]], a mass murdering dictator who killed several thousands of his own citizens and interned and tortured thousands more; this was apart of [[Operation Condor]], a multi-year campaign of [[state terrorism]] in South America that was backed by the CIA and established a number of right-wing military dictatorships in South America in order to prevent [[communism]] from taking hold in South America.

He also showed his support for the [[Yahya Khan]] regime in Pakistan, ignoring the fact that the Pakistani government was carrying out a genocide in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh.
