JFK could have just followed General Eisenhower’s policy of not getting into a war there.
JFK had much of the vanity and ego problems, and shallowness as Obama.

Your right JFK could have, followed Eisenhower’s plan in veitname although to tell you the truth I wish he had stuck to Eisenhower’s plan for the bay of pigs instead of compromising it by removing American air support.
If he had done that we probably wouldn’t have had a masacured of our Cuban brothers, and today not only would Cuba be free, but the missile crisis would never have happen. Indeed without that failure the Soviets may not even have had the nerve to put up the Berlin wall in the first place. The USSR may have collapsed a decade early as a result of more free movement of the innovative.
I agree of course JFK was a disaster, in a historic setting that enabled him to do even more damage to the world at large than Obama fortunately can do now in our post Regain, (post cold war) world.
But make no mistake, Obama is even more of a fool than JFK ever was. Obama is even more to committed to even more of the same old failed policy. Obama’s real damaged is domestic and cultural, and that of course is the most significant kind of damage any nation or people ever ever could suffer.
