Mark,
You've hit upon the KEY element in understanding John and, for that matter, Robert Kennedy.
Even though you're dead wrong.
Neither man entered the world fully grown -- physically, intellectually, or spiritually.
Noam Chomsky's assassination analysis fails because it is predicated on the notion that humans cannot evolve as thinkers and as spiritual beings.
The greatness of John Fitzgerald Kennedy may be measured in direct proportion to his evolution in those areas -- especially the latter.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
