When every single US president to date is a WASP *except* for an Irish Catholic, it feels good to know that the only diversity in the top job of the nation was with a guy who shares your heritage.
Because of this, I'm simply upset at the fact that 5 years of presidency (who's he gonna lose to in 64?!) were taken away from the one guy who broke the homogeny, and my feelings increase exponentially by the idea that someone got away with it. I don't care who, but with all the oddities surrounding the situation, it doesn't look like LHO was alone.
As for who I think would have done it and under what motive, the only theory I ever gave credit to is Castro, which I base on the number of times we've tried to hit him. But apparently there's some new evidence coming out that points to a tentative behind-the-scenes relationship between Kennedy and Castro in the spirit of peace and cooperation. I dunno how credible that is, though, but if so... kinda takes away his motive.
