    One of Henry Kissingers ideas.

    Yep. He was an absolute monster. This quote by Anthony Bourdain always comes to mind when he gets brought up:

    “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

      Instead he got given a Nobel Peace Prize and went on to help more people commit genocides in other countries. An incredibly evil person.
