Kissinger: ‘New World Order’

March 28th, 2006 at 09:46 Björn Hallberg

Kissinger unwittingly notes that “America’s global strategy benefits from the Indian participation in building a new world order.” The retired war criminal also thinks that the greatest international villain (the U.S.) cooperating with a country (India) that has become increasingly unstable especially in terms of religion, has serious issues of cast and race as well as having been to war with most of its neighbours is fostering “peace and prosperity.” Not to mention how it borders on ideas of M.A.D. which for all intents and purposes should have been relegated to the strategic dustbin a long time ago.

Also, while aiding civilian nuclear technology is commendable, and while correctly noting that India is starved for energy, one has to wonder about the consistency of the argument. As I recall, North Korea is also starved for energy since the fall of the Soviet Union and given the U.S.-backed embargo, but even though they were promised very specific aid to build and maintain strictly civilian nuclear power back in the late 1990s, the U.S. never made good on that promise. Now that could have fostered the same kind of “peace and prosperity” in an area that may not be as geopolitically important to the U.S. but nevertheless is volatile. For many observers this should be enough to suggest that Americas motives are anything but noble.
