Henry Kissinger has died at age 100, his consulting firm said in a statement on Wednesday.

The infamy of Nixon’s foreign-policy architect sits, eternally, beside that of history’s worst mass murderers. A deeper shame attaches to the country that celebrates him

    Measuring purely by confirmed kills, the worst mass murderer ever executed by the United States was the white-supremacist terrorist Timothy McVeigh. On April 19, 1995, McVeigh detonated a massive bomb at the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children. The government killed McVeigh by lethal injection in June 2001.

    McVeigh, who in his own psychotic way thought he was saving America, never remotely killed on the scale of Kissinger…

    author of the biography Kissinger’s Shadow, estimates that Kissinger’s …meant the end of between three and four million people.
