PD

JFK's term was cut short, no telling where he could have gone or not gone. Shame really not to know what could have become of his presidency if full term was given.

What about the cuban misile crisis?

What about the Cuban Missile Crisis? JFK was ready to do what needed to be done. He showed his guts and the crisis was averted. Probably the toughest decisions he made as President.

What? I never said he didn't have guts. His handling of the Missile Crisis was nothing short of great. I said he couldn't move what he wanted to through the legislature. I do believe that the Cuban Missile Crisis would be a "foreign policy accomplishment". Again, as I've already said.
