Eddie, as a Cuban I wish Kennedy had intervened militarily during the BOP invasion but I don't think the majority of the Cuban people at the time would have been very happy about it. This may come as a surprise to you but Cubans really wanted to be free to run the island without any interference from outside powers, including, and in some cases, particularly, the US. Back in April, 1961 no one really could have predicted that Castro would remain in power for over 50 years and that he would run the country as his personal communist fiefdom.
