Quote from insider trading:
Kennedy tried to kill Castro
What would you have done with Russian soldiers installing missiles in Cuba ?
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
If Kennedy had made a bona fide attempt to kill Castro then guess what-Castro would be dead. If JFK doesn't fuck up the Bay of Pigs then no Russian nukes in Cuba.
Study history. What did stocks do in the summer of 1962? Where was Kennedy's approval rating? Then you know why he HAD to get tough in 10/62.

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I think it is very likely that the Russians will test an obviously inexperienced Obama just as the Soviets tested an inexperienced JFK. They also tested Jimmy Carter. Like any predator, they can smell weakness and are emboldened by it.
This is the flip side of my concern with McCain. They know not to fuck around with McCain, just like they knew not to test Reagan. He is an unreconstructed cold warrior. However, times change. We lack the ability now to confront Russia, certainly not in their back yard. At the end of the Cold War, we had leverage over them, but we wasted it rubbing their noses in their defeat. Now they are rolling in oil money, control europe's natgas supply and have emerged as patrons of some of our most troublesome adversaries.
