the major events that happened to Nixon and JFK should all be analyzed from the context of the failed "Bay of Pigs" CIA operation. Nixon and his supporters orchestrated the Bay of Pigs when he was Vice President under Eisenhower. People in power assumed that Nixon would easily beat JFK in the 1960 election. Instead, JFK won and although he endorsed the Bay of Pigs, he was also blamed later for its failure. Some even accused JFK of being a leftist traitor, conspiring with the Communists. "neocons" of the time (of course they weren't called neocons back then) wanted to defeat the Soviet Union by force and to carry on by dominating the Middle East and the rest of the world through our bombing superiority. 50 years later, their attitude hasn't changed much.
