So, a very high level bureaucrat (Kissinger) is able to carry out a number of actions that many consider to be 'war crimes.' Instead of considering the more obvious solution... um, maybe bureaucrats shouldn't have that kind of power... or anyone else in government for that matter... the answer continues to be "Let's give these positions even MORE power... and we'll just make sure better (read: OUR) people have those positions!"
That answer is the liberal/progressive/leftist answer, but it hasn't helped at all that Republicans have done nothing to reverse things. They've even contributed substantially to some of the worst expressions of it.
Honestly, I'm shocked we're not all dead already from incompetence, gross malfeasance, etc. But the day is young.
