Tracy,
Help me to understand the relevance of your response above to my points on this thread.
Thanks.
Well, regarding your quote - "Ask, for instance, the survivors of My Lai what they see as the "ultimate legacy" of JFK's murder."
JFK might have succeeded in getting us out of Vietnam if he had lived, and maybe not. But the system that existed before he took office would probably have survived to some extent and rebuilt itself after his second term. The Kennedy brothers were a brief blip in the system like the Gracchi brothers in ancient Rome.
