You [president Kennedy] Have Made Some Pretty Strong Statements About Their Being Defensive And That We Would Take Action Against Offensive Weapons. I Think That A Blockade And Political Talk Would Be Considered By A Lot Of Our Friends And Neutrals As Being A Pretty Weak Response To This [the Cuban Missile Crisis].

Native Annalists May Look Sadly Back From The Future On That Period When We Had The Atomic Bomb And The Russians Didn't.
