Again in my opinion, the non-invasion of Cuba following the assassination shows that more powerful elements in the government (probably the Eastern Establishment represented by John McCloy) didn't want to mess up their investment portfolios by turning the world into a radioactive wasteland.
So LBJ got on the phone with everybody in Washington, telling them "we've got to take this out of the arena where they're testifying that Khrushchev and Castro did this and did that and chuck us into a war that can kill 40 million Americans in an hour." Overnight, Oswald becomes a deranged loner. Sorry, all you Strangeloves in the Pentagon, but you will get Vietnam as a consolation prize.
