Yeah... Not in the least... That whole thing with backing Russia down in the Cuban Missile Crisis with the blockade and stopping WWIII was just a lucky break... (Of course, if it had been Tricky Dick in the White House, you'd still be trying to grow barley in a radioactive smoking hole around the Rocky Flats arsenal, and you could play radioactive golf where downtown Denver is now.)
JFK brought about the confrontation with Russia by his miserable embarrassment of the Bay of Pigs. The Soviets saw his leadership as weak, inexperienced, and indecisive. The Cuban missile crisis was the making of JFK. Great president, huh?

Oh yeah and we had missles in Turkey because we thought Khrushchev was weak...Full of s**t, this is what happens when you get your history from Wally George, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh
Was JKF shot because of oil? He was in Texas. Oh, that was J.R. I get both of them confused.....from a rich family, womanizers, powerful, big White House, hot wife, and two brothers.
