Alice Liddell
JFK. He had his faults, sure. But he believed strongly in world peace, and a less antagonistic and militaristic foreign policy. His 1963 speech at the American University is my favorite speech of all time (called today the “Peace” Speech). I think he was ultimately killed because of his foreign policy ideals by the war mongers who ran the government then, and who run it now.
