If Bush had been in power in October 1962, bye bye world. Only the titanic mental effort of Kennedy to arrange his mind around an acceptable solution - involving missles in Turkey oddly enough - prevented WW-III. His hawks - and there were many, including gool ol' Peacemaker LeMay - wanted to "get it on".

If the world gets in a real knot here, we're screwed man.

Maybe I should talk about my bomb crater dream now..nah.
