Many despise President Bush but believe that President John F Kennedy was a man of peace. President Kennedy did not stop Soviet ships from unloading nuclear missiles in Cuba with peace promises or UN sanctions.
True, but keep in mind that Kennedy did not invade Russia as a result of the missle crisis ... so, while Kennedy may not have been, as you say, "a man of peace", he was able to solve the problem without declaring war. A huge difference I would say.
I don't ever recall seeing newsclips of Kennedy uttering the phrase "I'm a war president". If he ever did, then I stand corrected.
