0707076 Kennedy Showed How to Contain Iran Kenneth M. Pollack Nov 17, 2013 -- It may seem like a stretch, but the Cold War crises that President John F. Kennedy faced hold important lessons for the nuclear impasse with Iran. Newly released historical files on the confrontations between the U.S. and the Sovi

Yet he frustrated Khrushchev's ambitions and helped the U.S. avoid war through a combination of American nuclear superiority, firmness in defendin

lison June 15, 2012 -- Fifty years ago, the Cuban missile crisis brought the world to the brink of nuclear disaster. During the standoff, President John F. Kennedy thought the chance of escalation to war was "between 1 in 3 and even," and what we have learned in later decades has done nothing to lengthen those

Kennedy determined at the outset that this could not stand. After a week of secret deliberations with his most trusted advisers, he announced the discovery
