Not to be pedantic, but "Nixon's secretary of state who is known for his involvement in U.S. bombing of Cambodia, support of the Argentinian junta, and other war crimes to promote U.S. dominance" - support for the Junta and bombing Cambodia weren't war crimes, at least by any definition I'm aware of. I'm not defending Kissinger (I wasn't even alive then and I don't care) I just think you could reword the question.
