Thank you for the link to this article. I knew JFK had started to make voices heard but never saw this great speech. Thanks, Carol

"If the Poles come to feel that we in the West have forgotten them, that we are willing to reach a permanent agreement with the Russians that does not provide for a free Poland, that we with all of our advantages and wealth care little about their problems, then their courageous struggle to preserve the spirit of independence may cease."

What did he actually "Do" though ? He made fantastic speaches,Im sure he woke a few people up,but as a president what did he actually do,bear in mind most of the reforms came in under Johnson ,Kennedy ,ties to the Mob, a probable rigged election result(mind you,who complains with nixon as the loser?) and a legacy of 58.000 US lives lost in a jungle war he got the US involved in.

You've got to be kidding me. JFK had saved the world from WWIII during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Thank God we had this coolheaded and decisive man in the White House at the time. It's scary to think what the world would look like now if that was someone else in there... It was the closest the World came to the end ever.

.......RFK


CT just sent his cousin to prison for murder. I live here and the Kennedy's think they are God's. Cases of rape, murder, they thought it would pass. Look up Skakel trial.

Now JFK, not a bad pres. to look at, had some great plans. I personally liked "Ronald Regan". Looks like RFK was going in the right direction for Poland.
