assassnation of JFK?

Question

why was the assassination of JFK so important

Answer 1

How about the fact that the President of the United States was killed, and as a result of that single act, history was forever changed.

We then ended-up with LBJ as President...and if ever there was a lying, back-stabbing sob, that deserved to be impeached, he was the one. His entire reelection campaign was one big lie...a quote: "I will never send U.S. troops to fight in a foreign country." and then the day after he was reelected, 50,000 troops were assigned to Viet Nam. His total mismanagement of the Viet Nam War resulted in our losing, as well as over 50,000 names on the Viet Nam Memorial in WDS. Johnson fought the war in a manner so we wouldn't lose it, not to win...thus when you do anything like that, even something like a football game, you'll generally end up losing it. Had Goldwater won the 1964 election, he would have bombed Viet Nam into a parking lot...we would have the war to win it...and thousands of U.S. lives, and probably more Vietnamese lives as well, would have been saved.


Nixon was just stupid in what he did to end his Presidency, Johnson just lied, cheated & stole his way to it.

It's also important in that most people still don't believe we've been told the truth about the who & how Kennedy was killed. There are still too many unanswered questions or loose ends about it.

Because John F. Kennedy was the president then. If you assassinate a president, then you've assassinated one of the most important people in the world.
