When will people realize that these beloved Kennedy's did just as much bad as Nixon did?

Why should they believe something that isn't true?

The sinister political animal known as the Kennedy family was much worse than Nixon. Nobody cares to recognize that, though, because the Kennedy's are such a glorious bunch.  Roll Eyes

Kennedy didn't bomb Cambodia or overthrow Allende.

Next!

Bit like the old Commie defense of Stalinism really. Can't make an omlette without breaking a few eggs and so on. People aren't eggs though. In any case, Allende and his followers would have been voted out at the next election.

Exactly. Chile had at the time one of the strongest and most established parliamentary systems in Latin America - Allende had been in power for 3 years and approaching the end of his term and re-election (which he would have lost; his popularity went down the tubes after election). To support such a military action against him renders talk of "democracy" hypocritical at best.

Btw Bono, do you support the murder of this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Schneider

He did oversee that ever so successful mission in the Bay of Pigs.

Next.

How is the bay of pigs comparable to the hundreds of thousands deaths in Cambodia or installing a dictatorship in Latin America. I don't Understand...

I assumed you were talking about general foreign policy "mistakes."

Really? That's interesting.

That could be a political psychological test actually. We need one.
