I read the entire article...
We live in the Litwin age of nervy, primitive revision...Crude propaganda conspicuously designed to cover-up the real reason they don't want to admit....
I have a friend who was raised on the left-wing politics of the main left-wingers of the 1970's by his mother...Because my friend's views were heavily derived from Chomsky I was shocked when he laid in to Kennedy as being a crass pro-war right-winger no better than other US presidents...I told him that he better read DiEugenio & Douglass...
It is fairly clear that JFK's experiences with Algeria and Gullion, combined with his trying to get ahead of the Cold War for a final resolution that prevented nuclear war, led to his Viet Nam policy...A policy that could be viewed by paranoid reactionaries as appeasing communism, which, in turn, would lead to Executive Action on their behalf in Dallas...It should be pointed-out that JFK's policies ended up being the correct path and how things later turned out...To deny Kennedy due credit for this is a crime against history, moral order, and Kennedy's status as the true hero he was...
Kennedy's true Viet Nam policy is not the only thing being ignored in the Kennedy research world...
