Poor guy, too bad Jfk didn`t live out his presidency. He was a good Pres., though he liked whores. Some think that the humiliation he caused the russian president Nikita Khruschev was the reason for his assasination. But who knows, though if his opponent would`ve won the presidential race and not him the future would`ve been so much different. Who do you guys think would`ve won a full war?? I think West, china wasn`t that advanced then. Though russia was, it didn`t have the 2000 nuclear warheads it does now...

JFK FTW

BTW, watch Thirteen Days. Bruce Greenwood and Stephen Culp are superb as Jack and Bobby. Both should have gotten Oscar nods.

This documentary is biased. It was the US who started this whole thing by putting nuclear missiles in Izmir, Turkey (it would take 16 min for a nuclear missile to reach Moscow). In the movie they briefly mention that fact and move on to say that USSR decided to put missiles in Cuba because it wanted to push US around. USSR wanted to protect themselves, to have the same capabilites as US. I guess US expected as usual to do whatever they want with no retaliation. Whenever there is talk about the cold war and the possible nuclear holocaust, USSR is always portrayed as the aggressor and US as the good guys who are trying to protect the world. While in fact, US always had more nuclear warheads. USSR always knew that and tried to sign a some kind of proliferation act and numerous occasions and US refused. USSR was just trying to cover its ass because it couldn`t match US, still US was clearly not seeking peace or avoidance of mass destruction.
Its all in Noam Chomsky`s Hegemony or Survival.
