Being serious now, and I think this was crucial, especially at the beginning of the cold war.

And I'm talking about the Berlin Blockade back in 1948. Now I wasn't around then, but from everything I've read, it was perhaps the defining point in the cold war of how the U.S. would not be intimidated by the Ruskies.

In addition, we fed VERY hungry people in what was then West Berlin. PLUS, we kept West Berlin (and West Germany) out of the Ruskie hands.

EVERYONE benefited from that..except the Ruskies.

There is tons of stuff, but for some reason, this one popped into my head and I decided to go with it.

I think having JFK in the White House in the October 1962 Cuban Missile crisis was also a blessing. I SHUDDER to think of what some idiot like G.W. would have done had he been prez then!

And godbless Bobby Kennedy! (I'll save any specifics on that one till another time. grin)
