I never liked Kennedy because of his failures in Berlin and the Bay of Pigs. His handling Cuban Missile Crisis was a sign of relief. But this speech has gained my respect for President Kennedy.
-
He had a path and it was clear. People like this are killed because of fear. Only the good die young.
-
The last great President the States have had he was. Sure there may have been a good thing here or there by a couple who have been in that office since J.F.K. was there but none in my mind that neared him.
-
if only someone like this man were alive today
-
God, I wish he lived! "Such a Blissfull,Lustfull World this would be" RIP Jack.

@taniarene Think about what you are saying....U.S. has never started a war unless they have been threatened by another nation. The U.S. has never invaded a country for purposes of power. The Germans in WWII invaded Poland for instance not because of self-defense but because it wanted to exterminate the Jews and take land. Please give me an example of when the U.S. has done something like that? Oh..by the way, remember Vietnam and the mess that became? Take a wild guess who declared war! JFK

@Pensiverunner I don't, I haven't actually finished it. what your comment consisted of though sounds like it is out of the book. I think outside of the system, I have for some time. People are so deceived.

I think it's so sad (at approx. 2:50) Kennedy said "As the World knows, the United States will never start a war". I think he would have been really disappointed with the US in the first decade of the new millennium.
