Henry Kissinger citáty
strana 2

Henry Alfred Kissinger byl americký diplomat, historik, mediální komentátor, politik a politolog německého a židovského původu. Působil jako poradce pro národní bezpečnost a ministr zahraničních věcí v administrativě prezidentů Richarda Nixona a Geralda Forda. V roce 1973 získal Nobelovu cenu za mír za svou účast při diplomatických jednáních ohledně války ve Vietnamu, přestože jeho role v intenzivním bombardování severního Vietnamu vyvolávala kontroverze. Jako podporovatel realistů sehrál klíčovou roli v zahraniční politice USA v letech 1969 až 1977, snažíc se o zmírnění napětí mezi USA a Sovětským svazem, normalizaci vztahů s Čínou a ukončení americké účasti ve válce ve Vietnamu pomocí Pařížských dohod v roce 1973. Ovlivnil politiku s kontroverzními rozhodnutími, jako například zapojení CIA v Chile a podporu Pákistánců během Bangladéšské války v roce 1971. Kromě politické kariéry byl také zakladatelem společnosti Kissinger Associates, Inc. a významným autorem politických a historických literárních děl.

Henry Kissinger: Citáty anglicky

“The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy. And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.”

Statement of 1973, as quoted in "In Tapes, Nixon Rails About Jews and Blacks" in The New York Times (10 December 2010) http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/11/us/politics/11nixon.html.

“Intellectuals are cynical and cynics have never built a cathedral.”

As quoted in Sketchbook 1966-1971 (1971) by Max Frisch, p. 230
1970s

“If you mean by "military victory" an Iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don't believe that is possible.”

Commenting on the Iraq War in a BBC interview of 19 November 2006, as quoted in "Kissinger: Iraq military win impossible" by Tariq Panja, Associated Press, at Yahoo! News (20 November 2006) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061120/ap_on_re_mi_ea/britain_iraq_kissinger

1950s

“[Nixon] wants a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia. He doesn't want to hear anything about it. It's an order, to be done. Anything that flies on anything that moves.”

Phone call with Gen. Alexander Haig (9 December 1970) quoted in National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 123. The quotation was an excerpt from one of several phone conversations in which Kissinger ridiculed Nixon’s views about the war: "When Nixon proposed an escalation in the bombing of Cambodia, Kissinger and Haig felt obliged to humor the president while laughing at him behind his back" (Washington Post, May 27, 2004).

“The issue before us is whether the 21st century belongs to China. And I would say that China will be preoccupied with enormous problems internally, domestically with its immediate environment, and that I have enormous difficulty imagining it will be dominated by China, and indeed, as I will conclude, I believe that the concept that some country will dominate the world, is in itself a misunderstanding of the world in which we now live… In the geopolitical situation, China historically has been surrounded by a group of smaller countries, which themselves were not individually able to threathen China, but which united, could cause a threat to China, and therefore historically, Chinese foreign policy can be described as "barbarian management". So China had never had to deal in a world of countries of approximately equal strength, and so to adjust to such a world, is in itself a profound challenge to China, which now has 14 countries on its borders, some of which are small, but can project their nationality into China, some of which are large, and historically significant, so that any attempt by Chinese to dominate the world, would evoke a counter-reaction that would be disastrous for the peace of the world.”

“In the 1950s and 1960s we put several thousand nuclear weapons into Europe. To be sure, we had no precise idea of what to do with them.”

Statement of 1973, as quoted in Canadian and World Politics (2005) by John Ruypers, Marion Austin, Patrick Carter, and Terry G. Murphy
1970s

“I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.”

Meeting of the "40 Committee" on covert action in Chile (27 June 1970) quoted in The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence (1974); the quotation was censored prior to publication due to legal action by the government.
