The idea could be Operation Northwoods (an unambiguously bad idea) or it could be the death penalty for mimes (an unambiguously good idea), the government, that is those whose job it is to govern, has the say on whether or not you should implement it.

Ok I was drunk when I made this thread and arrogant on my part in concluding Kennedy and Lincoln were the only US presidents to be assassinated. I admit I was wrong.
But the JFK assainsation is the most signifacnt of the latter. It changed the way the US was run SINCE November 1963
Kennedy wanted to disband the CIA and be fired Dulles. He was called at 3AM on the night of the Bay of Pigs invasion, asking to provide air support, which he denied. He wasn't aware of this plot until he was called for air support. I guess the School of the Americas isn't as sufficient as proposed huh?
Do I need to explain Vietnam?
