"As you do not seem to me to be the iconoclastic sort who actually sees the truth until it is pointed out to them by others, I hazard a guess that you actually *did* buy into "Camelot" together with most of the US and it has to be said the rest of the world, until of course British historians publicized ( much to the chagrin of many US ) the true and rather dubious history of John Kennedy a couple of decades ago"
HS...actually my granddad was a geat observer of the Irish-American scene circa 1920 till the 70's when he past. He had a lot of counter-popular opinions about the Kennedy Clan... Those British journalists only reinforced the stories I had heard as a boy.
Preston... No bashing here...actually I have learned much about the British political climate and culture.... excuse my rough ways... I like to have a bit of fun as I learn.
Brummie....tough attitude for a cat with a bow tie, brother.
It must be noted the Anti- Semitism (and I like Jews for the record, I am related to a few) was about as prevelant as beans and bacon back in the early 20th century... If you thought Joe K was a breath of fresh air read some of the old Ford company newletters from the 20's and 30's... Henry was about as big a Jew Hater as you could get.... and from what I've read just about all the big money industrialist-tycoon types were not to wild about Jews either.
That brings us to a question often avoided...Just what what GB thinking when they turned those Jews away in '47 and gave Palestine to them... seems like no body every sees that move as one of the great "oh sh*ts!" in history.
