18. In Argentina, writes The Guardian 'Henry Kissinger gave his approval to the 'dirty war' in Argentina in the 1970s in which up to 30,000 people were killed, according to newly declassified US state department documents.

He was also asked at the University of Akron about his support of a Chinese plan to double their egg production and estimates that theat would take the grain of 18 nations. He declined to answer.
