      <![CDATA[To be fair, the Cuban exiles thing was 1) not really his plan and 2) kind of hilarious.

      <![CDATA[I'm sure you only left out P.J. O'Rourke's "Mordred Had a Point&acirc;&#128;&#148;Camelot Revisited," the one where he says:
    
    "We have no one to blame for the Kennedys but ourselves. We took the Kennedys to heart of our own accord. And it is my opinion that we did it not because we respected them or thought what they proposed was good, but because they were pretty. We, the electorate, were smitten by this handsome, vivacious family.... We wanted to hug their golden tousled heads to our dumpy breasts."
    ( http://orourkekennedyquote.notlong.com )
    
    because Google Reader restricts those pages from the "Give War a Chance" preview. (They do kindly link to a few pages of the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter book review: http://carterdrinkinggame.notlong.com )
    
    I'd never heard the notion from Harold that the Soviets forced us into an Anti-racism Race, but I'm at least finding it more plausible than its lore cousin, that Gorby tore down the wall out of the freedom-loving goodness of his commie heart.

      <![CDATA[Well said. You may be giving him too much credit on civil rights; in those days the main competing power, the Soviet Union, could and did gain credibility worldwide by pointing out gross racism in the US, so JFK eventually had to respond to the civil rights movement.
