Either way, imagine if Krushchev refused to back down? Would Kennedy really have pressed the button and destroyed the world? Hmm... maybe its a good job Kennedy was assasinated in the long run.

Would Krushchev pushed the button? Would Kennedy push the button? No, it was simply a stare down. Like two bullies attempting to be top dog. As far as the assasination comment....you would probably be drawn and quarted in the US to state it was a good job in the long run. Kennedy was a war hero. Inspired a nation to vote in the youngest president ever. We had one picture of a president in our home when I was a kid..it was JFK. One thing Kennedy did not want was to push a button.
