The Kennedys also broke up the Unions. They investigated Hoffa. Irish vs Italians mafia. They have lots of enemies.

So I believe we cherry pick and give the drunkass Kennedys way too much credit. They are bullies, traditionally the behavior in the NYC suburbs still after all these years. It's a way of life up there.

Calculated moves take a team. While the Kennedys made their moves based on the "family" unit tradition, the new Administration has a team.

Communism is no secret. Reagan got credit for breaking up the USSR, but they were mostly European DNA. Kennedy didn't want to take on the Mongols? heh.

Thank you for the lively discussion.
