cuban missile crisis debate
it is not an issue of dictatorship. the american republics have lived with dictators before. if this were their only fault, they could live with mr. castro. the foremost objection of the states of the americas to the castro régime is not because it is revolutionary, not because it is socialistic, not because it is dictatorial, not even because mr. castro perverted a noble revolution in the interests of a squalid totalitarianism. it is because he has aided and abetted an invasion of this hemisphere—an invasion just at the time when the hemisphere is making a new and unprecedented effort for economic progress and social reform.
