To the editor: The irony, the irony. Henry Kissinger, the ultimate, unabashed, pathetic war hawk widely decried for helping sacrifice millions of lives, blathering on (turgidly) about world peace. (“For a more peaceful vision of the future, look to the Olympics,” Opinion, June 27)

What’s next: Vladimir Putin on freedom of the press, Xi Jinping on street demonstrations, Kim Jong Un on religion?

To the editor: I never thought the day would come when I would completely agree with Henry Kissinger.
