That's when I joined the Army. We had just finished Basic Training in Louisiana and were standing on a Tarmac waiting to board a plane for Cuba. They just issued live ammo and we were going to invade Cuba and the Missile area. We were going to war with Russia. It was the Russians doing this, not the Cubans. It would have escalated into a full war with the Russians and we knew that. What was scary was the reality that they could have hit us with an ICBM with a Nuclear warhead. A very intense time. JFK called their bluff and they pulled out. Had Bush been President, I don't know what would have happened. He probably would have used one of our ICBM's and began the war...

Putting aside the immediate contingency of '62, Cuba would be prosperous now, and Moscow would be a glitzier vacation spot than Vegas.
The if game is utterly pointless, due to the implications of chaos theory.
If I were born and then lain in royal crib.

We would not be here now. King George would have started WW III and we would have a nuclear winter. That is the big difference between Diplomacy and a Bully

Russia and the U.S. would be leveled and uninhabitable. Both would let loose with nukes to level the other. Bush would be the first to push the red button and not think about the consequences.

No one would be here to answer, or ask, anything on Yahoo Answers. In fact, the internet might not have ever been invented, or cell phones, or microwave oven, or space shuttle, or IPods, or cable tv etc.

Global warming wouldn't be an issue because we would have a nice, refreshing, nuclear winter to keep us cool.

The U.S. would be a little more red. And not the Patriotic kind. The Kruschev (mispelled probably) kind. But, at least we would be down one idiotic leader!
