Rav Dov Fischer on the Current Matzav

«When America learned that the Soviets quietly were setting up missile bases in Cuba, 90 miles from Florida, the "best and the brightest" who advised President John F. Kennedy counseled a naval blockade that threatened bringing the entire world to the brink of nuclear holocaust.  No missile actually had been launched towards America.  Indeed, the Soviets and Cubans were trying their best to camouflage and hide what they were building. 

President Kennedy did not exercise restraint.  These were his words to the American people: "It shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western Hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States, requiring a full retaliatory response upon the Soviet Union."  He confronted Nikita Khrushchev with a naval blockade and did not back down.
