Thank you, Teri.

Your poem shares the tension of the Cuban Missile Crisis so well. You manage to share the gravity of the moment. Ande Kennedy's strength shines through in just a few words. You manged to share such a complex historical event into three lines!

Comment from tempeste
Ciao !
I read that Kennedy asked : how many could die if they went to war with Russia ...
In the many hundred thousands.. maybe more was the reply.
Kennedy didn't think such a massive loss was acceptable and against all the warmongers around him , he decided that diplomacy was the right way.
Under pressure, he allowed the Bay of Pigs invasion which was a disaster and an embarrassment for the USA.
Russia in the end stepped back and dismantled its missiles.
Kennedy was also against entering the Vietnam war... again he was pressured
He paid with his life his opposition to warfare.
He was the last great politician in your country ..
