Who the hell really care what JFK implied? Any "promise" he made was to appease the Soviets. We didn't want to risk World War III with the Soviet Bloc, but they don't exist anymore. Kennedy was acting under the assumption that the economic embargo would break Castro's will. He never dreamed that Castro would starve his own people and destroy his country just to defy the United States. Kennedy also believed that our allies would stand by us and impose their own sanctions; but that never happened, and now Canadians, British, and Europeans give Cuba enough in tourist trade to get by. I was always shocked that Reagan didn't go immediately into Cuba after we invaded Grenada in 1983

Castro's only real ally in the region is Venezuela, and we could easily take them out too. We've been waiting for Castro to die for decades, enough is enough, we should just finish it.

Unfortunately we had our chance at the bay of pigs and kennedy dropped the ball miserably. I doubt anyone else in power here will have the cajones to take Castro or his heirs out although he is personallyy responsibly for terrorism all over the world and actually trains terrorists worldwide.

Yep, if it were my call, I'd being saying "Let's Roll!"
