According
to history in 1962, USSR was the cause of Missiles Cuban crisis. If
Soviet Union did not make the relation with new president of Cuba was Fidel
Castrol to build new political system in Cuba, the missiles crisis would not
happened in Cuba too. Fidel Castrol wanted to change democracy to communist
that democracy is the political system lead by US and communist is lead by
USSR. As the super power, US could not stand still to see the neighboring country
as Cuba to follow the USSR. US realized that USSR could attack to US easily by
put their missiles in Cuba to threat to US as well. USSR wanted to show to the
world that Soviet Union is also the super power, which has a strong nuclear
weapons and ready go to war with the US. The expansion of Missiles made the
USSR become the caused of missiles crisis in Cuba.
The Executive Committee was the
group that John F Kennedy established the group discussion during the Cuban
missiles crisis in 1962. The EXCOMM play an importance role for the US and also
known as the large adversary group. The pros of
EXCOMM is to help JFK to faced with USSR, how to make USSR withdraw the
missiles from Cuba as soon possible. Most of members of EXCOMM wanted peace and
they tried to find the solution to avoid the missiles war between USSR and US. EXCOMM
may be a critical thinking when the problem is so close to take the war they
knew what to do or eliminated growing of threats. They were the consultants that
helped JFK making the strong decisions how best to respond different proposals
relayed by Khrushchev. There were five options that would be chose to face with
USSR.
Do nothing: overreaching may lead to nuclear war and USA still had more missiles than USSR.
Do nothing: overreaching may lead to nuclear war and USA still had more missiles than USSR.
Surgical air strike: destroy the missiles before they become
operational.
Invasion: remove missiles and Castrol from power.
Formal Diplomatic: involvement of UN and other countries
may force USSR to withdraw missiles.
Blockade:
it would show firm action without direct confrontation, it might be
depend on time to consider next actions.
Executive Committee may give the
disadvantages to Mr. president during the missiles crisis too. There were
twelve members of Executive Committee but they had differences ideas and also
some of them supported their opinions and argued with other members in the
group. Those arguments may make Mr. president hard to make the decisions and
more complicated. The argument may make the discussion take long term and would
affect to their country. EXCOMM feared that Mr. president chooses the wrong
choice and then it would be the World War III happens. So EXCOMM tried to
argued and gave the differences ideas to president. As I thought Mr. president
too hard to decide which option would be the best one for US. There were five
cons of options.
Do nothing: may be seen as the sign of weakness and
encourage the USSR to challenge USA else where in the world.
Surgical Air strike: no guarantee that an air strike could
destroy all the missiles. Some maybe launched against US cities. Bombing would
probably kill USSR soldiers and that would be seen as an escalation of the Cold
war into the hot war.
Invasion: seen as an escalation. USSR would react
with a possible nuclear war or invasion of west Berlum.
Formal diplomatic: seen as the weak option and one that
would unlikely produce the desired reaction from Khrushchev.
Blockade: A blockade would not remove the missiles
already placed in Cuba. Action would likely to be slow.
President Kennedy wanted to make
decision alone; he might think that what he wants were not going direct to war
with USSR. Every option that he got from EXCOMM some was so risk facing with
real situation. As a name of president, he didn’t want war to affected to his
innocent civilian. Whenever the armed conflict happened, it always bring the
lost of human resources, waste money on weapons or nuclear, trouble of
economic, damage of constructions, and waste time. Left him alone to make the
choice is better than forced him to stay with the hard situation during the
EXCOMM argued with each other by differences options. Furthermore, he could
believe in himself that he had strong commitment to save the world and to avoid
World War III. As a president he just want his civilian stay in peaceful and
prosperous activity.
Left Mr. president makes the choice alone is also risk for the US nation. Once he couldn’t choose the way to face with the complicate situation he might be choose the wrong choice which would lead US down and lost lots of nation budget. When he stay with stresses, urgent action which push him to choose the bad action or use a lot of military to go to war with USSR that would lead the world face with the lost of human resources or destroy this planet by nuclear. The world will never want the WWIII. Whenever he is complicated or stressful, that might be not a good solution to leave him alone to make the decision. Rocks could break because of cooperation power so nothing stronger than the cooperation power. Sharing and acknowledging other ideas are the best way, which lead to success.
