Henry Kissinger’s central role in the U.S. carpet bombing of Cambodia
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/30/henry-kissinger-cambodia-bombing-war/
Nowhere is the debate over the legacy of former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger more searing than in the countries that bore the brunt of his military polices, such as Cambodia. Historians say his decisions led to decades of violence that have continued to haunt Cambodian society.
For many in the country, Kissinger’s impact was not abstract but visceral and continues even after his death. Land mines planted during Cambodia’s three-decade-long civil war, which was driven in part by U.S. interference, are still exploding today. In neighboring Vietnam and Laos, officials are also still undergoing the painstaking process of identifying and removing unexploded ordnance from a war that Kissinger helped to wage five decades ago.

Lauded for his strategic insights, the former secretary of state is better remembered for his callousness toward the victims of global conflict.
