      He seems a man out of step with our times. But interesting to hear his thoughts on what's going on. Done while watching:

      How many of you who agree here with Kissinger here agreed with him when he talked about Russian Jews with Nixon? I bet non many.

      Kissinger basically says they can be as democratic as they want, as long as they obey us in foreign policy, which will be made in Israel.

      Here's a guy with a stratopheric IQ and unparalleled experience. Those of us with open minds MUST listen carefully.

      I'm fascinated by the change in the pronunciation of "Mubarak" over the course of this interview.

      It was so good to hear Kissinger last night on Egypt. His common sense and analytic ability are a great help; e.g. we should not confuse process in changing govt with the contest that has to take place afterward. I do think the President speaks too often and too dictatorial a tone. Thanks for giving us an elder statesman's views.

    6. RONN  02/04/2011 08:55 PM Report

      WOW..WOW..This man's brain should be preserved after his death. at 88 years old he still is as relevant as when he entered the politics. He is amazing... thank you Charlie rose

      The only thing 'slippery', is your logic (and possibly, your sanity). Of which, you have too much 'faith in'. You are Your Own Devil.

      Henry has a convoluted way of talking out of both sides of his mouth - but you have to listen carefully. He in essence said we should not try to influence the outcome and then intimated that we should try to manage the results after the fact - subtlely. He's slippery.

    9. robdverity  02/04/2011 05:05 PM Report

      Truth be known, we would support Genghis Khan if it meant support for Israel. BS re democracy is just that - BS! Ask Hamas.

      What the Hell Are you talking about? An inside joke with Yourself?.

      Isn't there another artificial country in the area? And what about those universal rights that this guest touted just a few days ago when another dictator was the focus of the show? On the subject of human rights, just how many thousands have been murdered by this regime in the last 30 years? And when has the last time the administration used the words hope and change? Isn't delay absolutely necessary to permit the removal of special persons and material from our military installations in Egypt? "Responsibility" for this quest comes down to some "mistakes we made" in the last thiry years. That sums up the argument nicely!

    12. doodah  02/04/2011 03:14 PM Report

      Henry Kissinger is hitting the nail on the head. He is agreeing with me 100%. Smart Man. If only this 'common sense' could sink into the thick foolish heads of the media and professional politicians. If Only... a lot less headaches for the next generation to untangle.

      Grow Up FOOLS!!!

      I agree with the doctor's point about our bad faith. I also agree with his rather veiled comments on administration public relations. Americans seem invariably to play to domestic politics, which can't help foreign relations. Presumably this why the Founders vested the power in the president. Also his understanding of the progress of revolutions. I don't think tho, as I've said before, that Twitter and Facebook, cellphones, et al, have that much more impact on the latter than TV, radio, telephones, and broadsheets and newspapers have had in the past. But they do seem to have excited our politicians. I agree with Brooks's remarks about dictatorship, but he fails to realize that many people are incapable of exercising self-government, even at the New Yorks Times, and democracy never escapes dictatorship. He needs to acquaint himself Aristotle, Polybius, et al.
