It you like Oliver Stone, then you may believe that JFK was assasinated because he was not in favor of sending troops to Vietnam. His assasination has been one of my hobbies in the past few years and I've watched a lot of programs regarding the events. Oswald was a loser and an outcast his whole life, he suffered from psychological problems and wanted very much to be famous for doing something that he felt was righteous. Interestingly enough, Jack Ruby, Oswald's killer, suffered from the same type of condition...he was lowly club owner that wanted to be in the mob's inner circle. Kennedy had mob connections. Ruby wanted to increase his standing by doing something righteous as well, so he murdered the man that assasinated the President. It amazes me that it simply comes down to the desire of acceptance.
