Doctor Strangelove Turns 100:Mein Fuhrer, I can walk! (Francis A. Boyle)

Francis A. Boyle:

 According to the web search results, Henry Kissinger's book advocating limited nuclear war is called Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy. It was published in 1957 and was based on his doctoral dissertation at Harvard University.” Artificial Intelligence.

Kissinger considers himself to be part of the Realist School of International Political Science, that was founded by my Teacher, Mentor and Friend Hans Morgenthau. RIP. Morgenthau considered the idea of “limited nuclear war” to be Pure Insanity. But this Pure Nuclear  Insanity was enough to get Kissinger a tenured slot  in the Harvard University Department of Government whose previous Chair was MacGeorge Bundy, who gave us the Vietnam War--The Best And The Brightest. Mein Fuhrer, I can walk!

Kissy and Timmy and Me

 

“ You’re moving into Kissinger’s old office”

Said Bud, the wizened old janitor

And a decent guy at that

“His file cabinets are in there.”

Sure enough they were

So it must be true

“And down the hallway there

Is Timothy Leary’s old office”

So that must be true too

Kissy and Timmy

Kissing Cousins in the Vanserg Building

Amazing!

Did they pass in the hall?

Glance at each other?

Say a few words of greeting?

The last probably not

Did they piss in the men’s room

Silently standing next to each other?

Maybe so.

There was only one

The counterfactuals of history

What if Timmy had given Kissy Acid?

Timmy turn Kissy on?

Maybe the world would have become

A more peaceful place

With Kissinger on Acid

It certainly

Could not have been Worse

The Kissinger War Prize

For Vietnam

Obama got one too

Those Norwegians

Surely have

A wicked sense of humor

“Timothy Leary’s dead,’

“No! No!’

“He’s on the outside,’

“Looking in’”
