Kennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States, said: “All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.” What he was trying to say was that we, as citizens, have very little direct control over the political actions of our nation.
