He did get us out of the Cuban missle crisis. He also set forth the mission to put a man on the Moon. It is entirely possible his wanting to not escalate Vietnam was a cause of this assassination. How much was made off that war? Why did Johnson refuse to end, even at his demise, and forced Humphrey to tske the same stance. </p>
