Had he lived, Vietnam would have been a footnote in the history books, not the great cataclysm that slaughtered the flower of our youth and divided the nation. He defused the nuclear arms race without giving into to the “brass hats” clamoring to bomb the Soviet Union into oblivion and no doubt cost us a major city or two. But, his death stopped disarmament in its tracks and gave rise to the peril of nuclear proliferation and terrorist attack. In embracing new economic principles, he argued for increasing the manufacturing base and productivity as first principles for raising federal revenues and increasing spending. At home, he moved cautiously on civil rights in the face of Southern opposition in the Congress. But, to his credit, he finally introduced legislation to end segregation and discrimination. Many believe, moreover, that the Civil Rights Act would not have become law, short of President Johnson selling it as a tribute to the martyred president. JFK’s call for recognition of the artist in our society and for volunteers to help poor people worldwide have survived the test of time and continue to reflect honor on our way of life. <br /><br />Though JFK died early, his inspirational leadership still serves as a model of what can be done—even in times of fear and crisis. His belief that America’s best days are ahead of us, that we can solve our problems, and that right makes might are as timely today as they were 50 years ago. As he said, “No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.”Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770636461322416484noreply@blogger.com
