I've thought of that scenario often these past five years. I understand that the generals and war-hawks were begging Kennedy to start lobbing nukes.
IMHO, if Bush were president in 1962, we would be living in a nuclear wasteland.

7. We would still be living with the effects of 'nucular' winter. |

There would be no more 'large' American cities or population centers.

Cuba and the South would still be extra-crispy.
Hey, but at least there wouldn't be a "Southern Strategy".

Like that "End of Ze World" flash:
Bush: "But I'm tired. Vacation is hard work." Cheney: "OK, then go take a nap...then fire the missiles!"
