Dickey--


As I said, diplomacy frequently involves letting the opponent have a concession. By refusing to let Khrushchev save face, by announcing the deal, JFK stupidly, and needlessly, risked Khrushchev's turning the deal --(Jupiter missiles in Turkey for Soviet missles in Cuba)--down---and thereby risked nuclear war.   Had he done this for Khrushchev, he would have had the same result--Soviet missles removed.

I note you have provided precisely zero evidence against this assertion.

And as I also said, as a good Bushite you can't be expected to know anything about diplomacy.    (Or history, it appears).

If a problem can't be solved by force, you're helpless--and hopeless.


QED

And somehow you still haven't found even one quote to refute the Bush propaganda campaign during the period I specified.

But never mind, your sax is calling you--(and music is calling me).
