David,
First, it's great to have James with us.
Second, your analysis is confirmed, I'd suggest, by Henrik Kreuger in The Great Heroin Coup (among other histories), and long has been a cornerstone of my own reverse-engineering of the JFK plot.
The elimination of the Marseilles/Union Corse middlemen by the deep political nexus (Santos Trafficante's tour of the Golden Triangle figures prominently in the process) burned beyond reclamation the old network in the most public of manners (see Nixon's drug war charade). If Southeast Asia were not defended, the new global narcotics network would be mortally threatened. There was no time or opportunity for a third alternative.
(Hence the JFK assassination false sponsor patsying of the Guerini brothers and other French Connection principals, an operation that continues. See The Men Who Killed Kennedy.)
I do not argue, of course, for protection of international narcotics networks as the sole motive for the elimination of JFK.

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.
