Should President Kennedy have blockaded Cuba to stop the USSR from introducing nuclear missiles?

He did but he called it a "quarantine" instead of a blockade, to avoid the fact that by international law a blockade is an act of war and could have been considered an implicit Declaration of War. Basically he was "walking on eggshells" in an attempt to avoid starting World War 3.
