That's a really good question - we just finished studying JFK in my American History class last week. :)

It's really impossible to say anything about why he was assasinated since Lee Harvey Oswald (the man who shot JFK) was soon after killed by Jack Ruby. But it could've had to do something with Communism. America was terrible anti-Communist during the time, and JFK's foreign policy was very much linked to curbing Communism. (There was the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Berlin Wall, etc). I think the assasination made JFK a martyr. Not that everybody didn't love him when he was alive, but when he died, he really gained that "GREAT president" ranking. In my history book, it said after his death, he was compared to the "Greats" like Washington, Lincoln, and FDR. I don't know - sometimes I think that the assasination overplayed his "greatness" as he was only president for like 3 years. He was very charismatic and "telegenic" so it really depends on each person's opinion.

Good question :]

I think he was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald from the Texas Book Depository, that Oswald acted alone and that there was no conspiracy.

My opinion is that it was an inside job... and that Kennedy had a lot of radical new ideas for America, not to the liking of other government officials. Although I've only begun researching it so can't really give much of a backed up argument yet :(

He was assassinated by a team of killers. The evidence does not support the single gunman theory at all. The fact that the evidence has been vaulted by people in our government makes me believe government may have been involved.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not have a chance at a fair trial because while in custody, Lee H Oswald was intentionally positioned in a way he could be shot before the trial,
to silence him and prevent other truths from being exposed during the trial.

What do you call that, corruption of justice, purjury, violation of UN International Charter of Human Rights for a fair trial (regardless if guilty or innocent), all of the above?
