This is well known, but I think it suits this thread well

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. [...] Witness what Henry did in Cambodia- the fruits of his genius for statesmanship- and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remake at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, under-mined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg.

God damn it, why couldn't it have been Kissinger who killed himself?

I guess because Bourdain had a soul and Kissinger didn't.

The wrong people tend to kill themselves in general. Those who commit the worst acts usually have supremely high self-confidence and self-assurance.

RIP my hero... Maybe now you'll get your chance to introduce Kissinger's afterlife to your knuckles.

If there is an afterlife, hopefully they're not in the same place.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Or maybe they are, just to ensure that Bourdain can choke and beat Kissinger every day onwards. Hopefully with the help of all the victims of that fucking "statesman"

I mean, Kissinger can have a layover on his way to hell to get his ass beat by Bourdain. This sounds like heaven to me.
