If Kennedy was an aggressive Cold Warrior he wouldn't have been assassinated by the right-wingers who placed Johnson in there to carry out their wishes with VietNam and other aggressive policies. I can't believe these cowardly shitheels whose sole purpose is maintaining the false cheezy image of American credibility.
Albert,
We are in agreement regarding the misinterpretation and mischaracterizations of JFK as an "aggressive Cold Warrior."
I take extreme issue with your second sentence, however.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
