Why do you think the US government wanted to remove Soviet missiles in?
The secret build up of offensive Soviet missiles was discovered by a U-2 Spy plane overflight of the tiny island. President Kennedy, considered an invasion of Cuba after the discovery, similar to the failed Bay of Pigs invasion 18 months earlier.After much discussion, he opted for a "Quarantine," of Cuba, which resulted in a naval blockade around the island. Kennedy demanded that the Soviets remove the missiles, however NikitaKhrushchev, publicly denounced the plan.In order for both parties to show their strength as leaders, a back room deal was had, out of view of the public on each side. The Soviets said they would remove the missiles, if the United States agreed to never invade Cuba again.Unknown to the world for over 25 years, was an even more shocking agreement. To sweeten the deal, and allay the Soviets fears of missiles on their borders, Kennedy agreed to remove America's Jupiter missiles from Turkey and Italy.

Did the US really start the Cuban Missile Crisis?
That's a "chicken or the egg" question. The events began to unfold when it was discovered the Soviets had built missile launching sites in Cuba. Then a Soviet freighter was discovered steaming to Cuba with what appeared to missiles on deck. Only then, did the US decided to set up a blockade to stop the freighter's arrival, which precipitated the show down between Kennedy and Kruschev. So I would say the Soviets started it.
