Kennedy and the Cuban Missile crisis
The Cuban missile crisis was an event that could have changed America is so many ways. ... What if Kennedy did not decide to quarantine Cuba but rather order for an air attack? What if Khrushchev did come to terms with President Kennedy? These were questions that most Americans inflated in their minds during this crisis. ... But finally on the sixth day Kennedy was able to compromise with Khrushchev with returning the nuclear weapons.
I believe Kennedy made the right decisions with this matter. ... Sorensen’s article he expresses his thoughts about how Kennedy did indeed make the correct choices. ... President Kennedy was determined to so something without causing any aftermath destruction. ... If Kennedy did not handle the situation the way he did, we might not have been able to defend our selves in the future if Cuba had ever decided to engage with the United States. ...
One statement by Sorensen that expresses Kennedy’s thoughts, “He choose the quarantine in preference to an air attack because it was a measured, limited step, it offered the Russians both room to maneuver and a peaceful way out” (Sorensen 293).
