JFK And The Nazis

Most Americans are taught to love JFK, but who was this man really? What did he represent? Regardless of what he represents his death was a tragedy but maybe we should take a look at some particulars with regards to what he stood for.

"After visiting these two places (Berchtesgaden and the Eagle’s lair on Obersalzberg), you can easily understand how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had bound-less ambitions for his country which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made."
-JFK("Prelude To Leadership - The European Diary of J. F. Kennedy, Summer 1945", Regnery Publishing, Washington DC, p. 74)

From this little snippet we can surmise that JFK admired Hitler. Does this mean that JFK was truly like-minded to Hitler though? Well here is another little snippet that may answer that question.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".
-JFK

"The state does not exist to serve the individual, the individual exists to serve the state".
-Hitler

Is JFK worthy of the nations love?
