I must admit, I've never really understood the Kennedy worship. If he hadn't been assassinated, he'd probably just be another failed President, blamed for the Vietnam War.

The same sentiments can be applied to John Lennon....he would have just been another ex member of the Beatles or xxxxxxxx

I'm fairly sure I've seen it still there in London on the tele more recently.

Pause and breathe in....It was in response to the poster talking about his wife giving him the news of Princess Diana's death

Mostly to stop you looking like a dick. Which of course you're not.

I was three, and in France and I remember my mother crying...it really upset me, as she wasn't the crying sort.
When Diana died, I was in Libya and listening to the news and laughed, as I was sure it must have been some sort of spoof.
