Kissinger, while organising the bombing of Cambodia and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, said that if he personally didn't organise it the alternative (some other psychotic official) would be worse.

Should we give him a pass? Forgive him his crimes against humanity because someone else would be worse? Does that make the systematic murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians palatable?
