    Kissinger keeps promise to attend Greuther Fuerth game

    Former US secretary of State Henry Kissinger kept his promise to attend a home game of Greuther Fuerth, his childhood club before immigrating to the United States, when he took his seat for the 2-0 defeat to Schalke.

    Kissinger, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, was born in Fuerth in 1923 but his Jewish family left Nazi Germany in 1938.

    He had promised years ago he would watch a home game from the stands if they won promotion to the Bundesliga.

    "I wish them now the championship title," said the 89-year-old former top diplomat before kick-off, donning a green-and-white scarf and wearing a dark blue suit.

    "I am happy to be able watch a first division game after a long time."

    He said he always got into trouble for watching games at the Ronhof stadium as a child instead of going to the opera as his father suggested.

    Club boss Helmut Hack called him "our best known ambassador globally".

    "It is great that he kept his promise," he said.

      I live close to a Cambodian beach, where everyday, landmine victims, without arms or legs, beg for food. THANKS TO KISSINGER.

      I have seen the devastating effects of Agent Orange, on the land and peoples of Viet Nam THANKS TO KISSINGER.

      I have spoken to UN mine and bomb disposal squads in Laos and Cambodia still clearing up the debris of war. THANKS TO KISSINGER.

      My town in Cambodia, witnessed the last act of betrayal in the Viet Nam war; the bombing of local fishing boats and a B52 hit on my town, which the US military promised not to do.
      THANKS TO KISSINGER.

      Because of this, two captured US marines, the last names on the Arlington Viet Nam war memorial, were brutally bludgeoned to death in the local temple by a furious local populace.
      THANKS TO KISSINGER.

      America dropped more bombs on Cambodia and Laos, innocent bystanders, than on Germany and Japan in the 2nd World War. THANKS TO KISSINGER.

      The terrified population turned to Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in anguish and despair, for salvation, and suffered mass genocide as a result THANKS TO KISSINGER.

      A famous American comedian once said: "Farce died the day Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in Southeast Asia".

      Since the Viet Nam war, America's foreign policy, has been one of "creative destruction" Millions upon millions have suffered and died. THANKS TO KISSINGER.

      I though if you left a country you "emigrated" not immigrated, perhaps Im just too simple for Yahoo !

      Kissinger bombed "neutral" Cambodia into the "dark ages" and laid the ground for Pol Pot; as with Blair and Bush who made an illegal war of aggression on Iraq the West's powerful leaders are exempt from the War Crimes Court at The Hague; the profits go to Big Oil and BA and Halliburton and all the military-industrial warmongers.

      Perhaps they should have sent him to the Chelsea v QPR game to sort out Terry and Ferdinands childish antics?

      Nice that Kissinger forgives the Germans. After all, Germany is a pretty nice place nowadays.

      Yes immigrated to the US but emigrated from Germany! Wonderful long career in Shuttle diplomacy in the middle east. I cant imagine you watching a match without having to negotiate for a draw at half time.

      He is an evil man who has masterminded many wars and was a integral part of the war machine of united states of america. I am shocked he even recieved a peace award.

      It's a shame this guy is still breathing, then again, the devil always looks after his own.
