Post-Kennedy the U.S. government seems to be slipping more and more towards Star Wars Empire level evil.



You do realize that pretty much every "imperialistic" thing that Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and both Bush's have done has an antecedent in the Kennedy administration.

JFK was a committed cold warrior, believed in the "Domino effect," and had no problem propping up alleged dictators if they were anti-Communist.



I think you're far too genourous to Kennedy. The policies that were the Cold War were continuations of policies, primarily made by Democrats, before Kennedy.

There seems to be this idea that history didn't start until Dec. 7, 1941. If we want to name the original Cold Warrior, my candidate would be Woodrow Wilson, closely followed by FDR.
