(5,101 posts)...how you lived this tragedy.
I was born one year later. I remember people talking about it but no one who did not live the events can really imagine what it was.
Even non Americans can't forget where they were and how they felt. For sure, not with the same intensity as yours, but I have heard many times there was a before and an after JFK's assassination.
I often wonder how the world would have been if JFK finished his term and a second. He made mistakes but he learned from them. He did great things too.
I don't understand why some historians judge his presidency as average or not so good, not so bad..., it is impossible to make any conclusion. Plus, very often, he is judged with nowdays standards, which is wrong in my opinion. The context was completely different. What would have he done for Cuba in another context ?
