I was three-years old, and cried only because I couldn't see cartoons that weekend. I've shed wiser tears since.
Here's Kennedy's American University address. An audio file can be downloaded at the link. For what the United States and the world lost, it is to weep.
http://www.jfklibrary.org/j061063.htmWhat kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women--not merely peace in our time but peace for all time.
