Some say they based Dr. Strangelove on Henry Kissinger...

That would be unfair. As much as I dislike Kissinger, he did serve in the US Army during WWII.

I tend to think this is taken out of context. The Russians were not gassing Jews. They were making life difficult for those Jewish 'refuseniks' who were criticizing the Soviet state, and they did have a problem in that many of their best engineers and scientists were Jews who if given an opportunity would have moved to Israel in a heart beat. A lot of them defected when they had a chance, but they were not being gassed or murdered in mass.

Sometimes I like Kissinger and sometimes I don't. I remember when he did this:

Kissinger resigns as head of 9/11 commission

He had too many foreign entanglements to head the commission. I read a couple of his books and he always mistrusted the Japanese compared to the Chinese. If history is a guide, I would think it should be the opposite.
