Russian military leaders have expressed concern about US plans
for a national missile defense system. Will defense technology be
limited by possibilities for a strategic imbalance? Is this just SDI
all over again?

We need conventions - and intelligent, resourceful
negotiations, to make things workable, and pleasant, that would
otherwise be brutish, ugly, and lethal.
Mary Poppins (reinforced from time to time by others) may
be a better exemplar than Henry Kissenger.
Kissenger's oversimplifications can kill. Mary Poppins' complexly
articulated, specific accomodations, that give thought to beauty
whenever possible, and always in context, can heal.

what has happened in the Cold War.
The Cold War should have been over long ago.

Has anyone given thought to what things it was, after World War
II, that made Henry Kissenger so valued -- made him such a star?
We he a particularly valued diplomatic resource for dealing with
ex Nazis?
Given the mass of Nazi paper that Americans had to deal with at
the time, and the very extensive cast of characters who had to be
dealt with, it seems a fair question.
Some key stages of Kissenger's career seem likely to have been as
fictionalized as some of Kerrey's - though not, perhaps, for exactly
the same reasons.
A great deal of "dirt" has come out about Henry Kissenger, and
the group of foreign policy people, now central to the Republican
party, who he mentored.
But at the beginning -- there may be issues left to clarify --
which might cast light on the rest.

Individual arguments, from motivated people, may or may not be
wrong, or represent misinterpretations -- that becomes clear when
they are CHECKED. Often the only way, and often the best way, is to
have many pieces matched and crossmatched, until consistent
patterns emerge. The references here are some pieces, among a
number, for matching and crossmatching.
