President Kennedy was certainly smart in the traditional meaning of the word. His intelligence however came in even greater significance in the form of wisdom. And it was wisdom inspite of his years. Singularly among the ExComm committee, for example, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he stood against the invasion of Cuba. Unbeknowst to any of the American advisors, nuclear weapons had already been activated on the island 90 miles from US shores. Had Kennedy relented and agreed to the invasion, it would have certainly started WWIII and resulted in the annihilation of close to 100 million people. If any other politician been President instead of JFK, you wouldn't be reading this now. Subseqauently and sobered by the near disastrous clash with Kruschev's generals in the Soviet Union, Kennedy authored and signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, again saving hundreds of thousands of people from contracting cancers from the fallout of of continued nuclear testing. Listen to JFK's American University speech a couple of months before he was killed and you will understand why the "powers that be" could not tolerate Kennedy's vision of peace and the necessary end to a state of constant war, that this peace required. He was eons ahead of his time and no President has come close since, in terms of his vision and wisdom in advocating for peace "for all people, not just in our time but for all time".
