Last week on the History Channel they had something about the Kennedy family every day.  This obviously included a few hits about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  I don't know why, but when a documentary, or a history investigation, or anything about November 22, 1963, I can't stop watching.  I've actually read books, watched JFK many times, and listened to many disscussions about the event.  It even lead to me taking a class in college about the event. 

This class forced me to read things that I never thought I would read, like the Warren Commision report (not the whole thing, but the findings).  One of the most facinating books I read was Kennedy's Wars, which talked about the wars that happened, partiallly because he was no longer president.  I also read books about many types of conspiracy theories, and ones that supported lone-gunman theories too.  I went into the class looking for a conspiracy theory that I would believe in fully and would be able to argue backwards and forwards.  However, I found the opposite. 

 As much as I wanted to say that Kennedy was killed by the mafia, multiple shooters, or the CIA, I just always came across evidence that said otherwise.  So, my OPINION is that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only person involved, a crazed man who wanted to make his name known.  Jack Ruby had nothing to do with the assassination, and was someone that let the assassination get to him a bit too much.  No, I don't accept the Warren Commision's finds as fact, because it has it's flaws.  The book that I find closest to reality is Case Closed by Gerald Posner.

In the book, Posner builds a legal case against Oswald, who never really faced a trail.  He talks about Oswalds travel, his family issues, and his upbringing.  After reading the book, I can't help but accept that Oswald was the only killer.  So go ahead, send me your opinion of the matter, we'll see if I can prove my point to you!
