(408 posts)Good link, yeah the Soviets have a tendency to see US criminality for what it is, or maybe we're the just the last to figure it out sometimes. Anyway the title of that obscure JFK book is surprise, Strategy of Peace, and it's a collection of speeches and essays published in 1960 as one of those thoughtful campaign books Dems sometimes write:
Available for the low price of US $7645.00, who could resist? http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=john+kennedy&sortby=1&tn=strategy+of+peace
I just ordered a copy on Amazon for considerably less and I'll report back on that Bolivar speech when I find it again in case anyone's interested. I can't find it on the web. It seems Kennedy spoke favorably of Castro and against US meddling in Latin America up until the 1960 campaign, when he started taking a more official hard line toward Cuba, at least publicly.
Anyway I was astonished that Obama actually won on Nov. 6, as I imagine you were too, even though I knew all along he had more popular support, and if any electronic trickery was attempted or prevented by any parties I sincerely hope it comes out. The BO admin has a tendency to play their cards close to the vest I've noticed, which works against them in some ways, but they clearly know what they're doing and managed to get to the second term stolen from JFK so I have to say that I'm very optimistic. That Petraeus went down three days later suggests to me that there's a lot we don't know.
