A Nobel Prize without Peace

In the last few years, United States of America are trying to make their
past behaviour and responsibility about cruel dictatorships of South
America a bit clearer, particularly for Chile’s and Argentina’s ones.
During these military regimes thousands of people were raped, tortured and
killed and in many cases their bodies are still undiscovered: we are
talking about “desaparecidos”, who are alive in our minds thanks to history
and to all men and women who are fighting in search of truth and in
preserving memory of this atrocious past. 
Evidence of liabilities had in the ’70s and ’80s of last century by Central
Intelligence Agency and by some influent members of U.S. Government is
nowadays sure. Main characters of this connivance with military regimes are
suspected to be President Nixon and his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger,
the latter in open search of revenge against President Allende of Chile;
Kissinger’s idea was that Allende and his Government (in office after
democratic elections) must be overthrown by any means to permit the power
to be taken by his friend General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte! Kissinger had
also a great role supporting dictatorship in Argentina, where ruled Jorge
Videla, another of his confidence men.
Notwithstanding these bloody pacts with South American regimes, in 1973
Henry Kissinger became Nobel Laureate for Peace, alongside with Viet Nam’s
Le Duc Tho, having negotiated a cease fire agreement in that country. But
warfare in Viet Nam continued at least for a couple of years, ending only
with the falling of Saigon. Le Duc Tho did not accept his part of Nobel Prize.
Now that United States’ position, particularly Kissinger’s preminent role,
in South American dictatorships is in full light, a relevant question
arises about the ethic and moral value of his Nobel Prize and we cannot
ignore it. It is worth associate his name with the ones of people who
really fought for Peace and Justice, such as Rigoberta Menchu?? We think
that he can’t be no more a Nobel Laureate for Peace because of his part in
crimes committed in Chile, Argentina and not only, and that the 1973 Prize
must be revoked as Justice wants and as a repair, very small indeed, for
the sufferings of thousands victims.
This is what we firmly ask to you!
