The New World Order is a conspiracy theory, in which a powerful and secretive group is plotting to eventually rule the world via an autonomous world government, which would replace sovereign states and other checks and balances in world power struggles.
The term "new world order" has been used to refer to a new period of history evidencing a dramatic change in world political thought and the balance of power. The first Western usages of the term surrounded Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points and call for a League of Nations following the devastation of World War I.

Okay.
There is the New World Order Conspiracy Theory, which is what I think you're "afraid" of:

And then there's the original meaning of the phrase New World Order, which is what I think Henry Kissinger is actually talking about.

But if you get your jollies thinking that Henry Kissinger is publicly calling on Obama to secretly plot to rule the world, be my guest.

And in all honesty, I resent someone telling me how I feel about something.
Well, that's what you "think."
Why you would defend Henry Kissinger, of all people? To suggest that Kissinger is all-of-the-sudden some benevolent humanitarian is silly. Especially coming from you, bh! You know better...don't you?
I will, however, remind you to set emotional reactivity aside and re-consider what I did [and did not] say in the OP.

You've made several assumptions in your post, which does not help your argument.
I never suggested that Barack Obama would be "rul[ing] the world."

One more thing...was the vibe of your post based on a desire to suggest that Henry Kissinger is a "good guy," or was it based on your indignation that I had the audacity to link Pres.-Elect Obama to the NWO [not the nice one that you assume Dr. Kissinger was referring to, either]?
"I think that his task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period, when really a "New World Order" can be created. It's a great opportunity.

"The phrase 'new world order' traces back at least as far as 1940, when author H.G. Wells used it as the title of a book about a socialist, unified, one-world government," writes Drew Zahn. "The phrase has also been linked to American presidents, including Woodrow Wilson, whose work on establishing the League of Nations pioneered the concept of international government bodies, and to the first President Bush, who used the phrase in a 1989 speech."
