About when Kennedy was running, the first catholic ever to become President (and thus a kind of hero to him.) Because of his faith, many on the right were arguing that the soviets would be upset and more belligerent because they would fear that a catholic president would intervene more in Poland and other Catholic countries. They said it would be horrible for our security. Well all I have to say is this, Kennedy made plenty of mistakes in foreign affairs, but if Richard Nixon were their during the Cuban Missle Crisis, we would all be dead. Many of the Arabs, a lot of them legitmately, hae a problem with the US no matter who is in charge, so a man's faith does will not affect his ability to do his job.
