What course would America have taken if JFK had lived?

How different do you think the next 10 years would have been? The next 50?

What would Kennedy's legacy have been if he had lived?

 

[healthmyths]

Well one thing Kennedy and GWB had in common" both lowered taxes!

 

[BlindBoo]

Nuclear obliteration. That's why the Time Travel Group came back in time to kill him.

How differently would he have managed Vietnam?

How differently would he have managed Vietnam?

No different, he would have been embroiled in so many scandals that he would have been just protecting his job. He was a crook. And a womanizer and he had connections to the mob. Hell it is said frank Sinatra was his go between on the election with the mob and that is one of the theories on who assassinated him and his brother.

NOT wanting to be involved in Vietnam and having plans to have all troops out by 1965 (if I remember) I think is what got him killed. That, and Oliver Stone wouldn't have had that movie.

Probably not a lot different. LBJ would be remembered better though.

A more interesting question would be what if RFK had lived?

 

[francoHFW]

I believe he would have gotten out of Vietnam and we would have normalized relations earlier. And he was killed by a single idiot, dupes.

Maybe we'd have a base on the moon and mars? Likely wouldn't of got us so into nam, LBJ really ramped up that bitch.

The communist take over of our educational system or media wouldn't of been as successful. At least one can hope!
