Remember Kennedy and Bay of Pigs, but remember correctly Al Allenback In his recent “Remembering the Bay of Pigs and its Aftermath," Alabama Supreme Court Associate Justice Will Sellers blames the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the Vietnam War, and everything else he considers “bad foreign policy” on President John F. Kennedy (a Democrat, for you youngsters). By not presenting “the rest of the story,” Justice Sellers argues that U.S. foreign policy was driven by the Kennedy “machismo” as JFK tried to make up for his “failures” during his oh-too-short 2 ½ year presidency. Justice Sellers can’t remember much about those years because he was born in 1963, the year Kennedy was assassinated, but he asserts, “…the world appeared stable and controllable.”
