There’s no question of his ability to handle affairs of state. He just had a very, very vulnerable sense of himself and had great power to wield at a time when the country was fervently divided.

Blame him for Cambodia. But blame us all for the kind of free world we have set in our heads and the kind of global adversaries, worse than us, that we had then. Nothing is too small to crush in the name of our ideals.

You would not have seen him ‘do Iraq’ as is this present ‘Prez’, the one-sided incompetent still in office. Nixon would know how properly to play off forces and co-opt who he would have to. And use ‘limited’ force or simply the threat of force to make the most of our power. Not wad our National Guardsmen — the backup guys — into an unworkable mess that simply shows our weakness.

Nixon’s main mistake — the Watergate carte-blanche and coverup — was a mistake because it led to his legitimate removal that in turn caused a lathered-up rightwing to blame ‘liberals’ and come back with ruthless vengeance.

cheyney is worse by far!

that “one china” policy, oft sited as one of RMN’s great legacies..hmm, did we really need it after all? hard to say, but it is a complex row to hoe to this day and beyond.

also, is it just possible that one reason the US is so resistant to the court at the hague is because of possible indictments directed at people like kissinger?

“And in the film, I peg a certain date when the HMOs really got their start. And I got very lucky. I had a twenty-three-year-old researcher in my office who worked on the film, who was actually someone I believe that was recommended by Jeremy Scahill, so there’s a Democracy Now! connection to this moment in the movie. But he found this Watergate tape — has nothing to do with Watergate, it’s one of the Nixon tapes — at the Archives, National Archives, where Nixon and Ehrlichman are discussing whether or not to support this HMO concept. And Ehrlichman says to Nixon, “You’re going to love this, because this is private enterprise. This isn’t like some freebie thing.” Nixon goes, “Oh, I like that. Tell me about it.” And then Ehrlichman says, “Well, this is how it’s going to work, these HMOs. They’re going to make more money by providing less care. The less care they give them, the patients, the more money the company makes.” Nixon goes, “Ooh, not bad!” And it’s all there on tape.”

PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON: I still think we ought to take the dikes out now. Will that drown people?

HENRY KISSINGER: That would drown about 200,000 people.

PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON: Well, no, no, no. I’d rather use the nuclear bomb.

HENRY KISSINGER: That, I think, would just be too much.

PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON: The nuclear bomb? Does that bother you?

HENRY KISSINGER: [inaudible]

PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON: I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christ’s sake.
