I read this yesterday on an ABC news blog and couldn't believe what I was reading. Biden actually WANTS some rogue leader to test Obama (at the risk of the American people). Kennedy got beat up by Khrushchev and the result was the Cuban missile crisis. For those of us alive at the time, the possibility of nuclear war was very real.
What resulted? The Berlin Wall and the Cuban missile crisis. Kennedy wound up trading strategic intel and missile installations in western Asia in exchange for Soviet withdrawal of the nuclear missiles from Cuba. The entire Kennedy administration turned out to be a foreign-policy disaster that was only overlooked because of the tragic assassination of Kennedy in Dallas in 1963.
