Some of the 58,000 young Americans who lost their lives in Vietnam would still be alive today, there would be no Nixon's Southern Strategy, Watergate, (few Roves, Cheney's, and right wing dirty tricks) no Reagan Revolution, no Clinton "convservaDems" and no Iraq War. I miss the Kennedy's!

That's why I never stop asking questions as so often I here on DU…

Kennedy's background and experience in foreign policy prior to his presidency seems to have fortified his vision for where we and other leaders of the world needed to progress. That's why he asked what we could do for our country. And, that is why so many were poised to carry that vision out… until he was TAKEN out.

I often think, "who would benefit by the bold erasure of such a leader?" 50 years later…
