Vierzig Jahre der Irreführung

The responsibility of the President, therefore, is especially great. He must serve as a catalyst, an energizer, the defender of the public good and the public interest against all the narrow private interests which operate in our society. Only the President can do this, and only a President who recognizes the true nature of this hard challenge can fulfill this historic function.

I believe that our system of checks and balances, our whole constitutional system, can only operate under a strong President. The Constitution is a very wise document. It permits the President to assume just about as much power as he is capable of handling. If he fails, it is his fault, not the system`s. I believe that the President should use whatever power is necessary to do the job unless it is expressly forbidden by the Constitution. (John F. Kennedy, 1960)

Vietnam

DRESS REHEARSAL: THE SECRET OF '68

There exists, within the political class of Washington, D.C., an open secret that is too momentous and too awful to tell. Although it is well known to academic historians, senior reporters , former Cabinet members, and ex-diplomats, it has never been summarized all at one time in any one place. The reason for this is, on first viewing, paradoxical. The open secret is in the possession of both major political parties, and it directly implicates the past statecraft of at least three former presidencies. Thus, its full disclosure would be in the interest of no particular faction. Its truth is therefore the guarantee of its obscurity; it lies like Poe`s »purloined letter« across the very aisle that signifies bipartisanship.

Book Review in Asia Times: Vietnam: The ghost still haunts America

No peace, No honor, Nixon, Kissinger and betrayal in Vietnam - By Larry Berman, Free Press

A quarter of a century after the fall of Saigon. the ghost of the Vietnam War still haunts the United States. Coming to terms with its first defeat in its short 200-plus year history is proving a long and painful process for the only remaining superpower.

Regarding Henry Kissinger

Am 22. Februar fand in Washington im National Press Club eine Podiumsdiskussion statt, bei der vor allem die Frage diskutiert wurde, inwiefern es überhaupt ein gültiges internationales Recht (über das Völkerrecht zwischen den Staaten hinaus) gebe, nach welchem Handlungen Henry Kissingers be- und verurteilt werden können.
