Henry Kissinger, l’odieux prix Nobel de la paix 1973

L’attribution du prix à l’ex-secrétaire d’État américain avait fait scandale.

Pourtant, lors de sa mort en novembre dernier,

des hommages le gratifient de « grand homme du siècle »,

alors que ni le bilan ni les méthodes du personnage ne le justifient.

Kissinger shakes hands with Le Duc Tho,

leader of the North Vietnam delegation,

after the signing of the Paris peace accords in January 1973

that ended the direct combat role of the US in Vietnam.

 

As US national security adviser,

Kissinger was a key figure in the four-year negotiations

to end US involvement in the Vietnam war.
