What should the American
President Kennedy do?
Here are six possible alternatives for Kennedy:
1
Do nothing. It was logical that the Soviets would
install nuclear missiles on Cuba because the
United States had installed missiles in Turkey.
2
Use diplomatic pressure to make the Soviet Union
remove the missiles.
3
Send a message to the Cuban leader Fidel Castro
to warn him that it would be very dangerous for
him to let the Soviets install the missiles.
4
Use the US Navy to block any ships with missiles
on board from arriving in Cuba.
5
Use the US Air Force to attack all missile sites on
Cuba.
6
Invade Cuba and overthrow Castro.
