I always liked the story about LBJ where he told Ho Chi Minh "Look, if you stop this war, I'll take all this money that I'm trying to use to kill you to build up your country."........and Ho Chi Minh wasn't interested.
LBJ was doing what many a politicians might do, offer a bribe.
But Ho Chi Minh was a statesman. He wasn't interested in bribes but in an unified country.
Politicians and Statesmen......so often do the two not see eye to eye and even worse.......most politicians don't recognize a statesman when they meet one.
LBJ signed legislation that he knew would alienate southern Democrats. That took guts, and was the opposite of what we see politicians do today.
I agree on JFK being murder. But if we had known the lies and what he was on ;he should have been impeached. Camelot was pure con and the man was taking doctor feel good drugs running the nation.no wander he was obsessed with socialism and communism being destroyed resulting in Bay of Pigs; attempts to murder Castro and sending the first US troops into combat role in Vietnam; Marine first Corp.The man's had serious problems that should have meant he never had power he did.

He was plotting to overthrow the United States by negating the Federal Reserve Act.

This statement is darkly revealing of the poster who posted it. Ho Chi Minh was a statesman? HA HA HA.
november 22, 1963 was also the day that our government was overthrown.
