Bay Of Pigs The failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs represents the mismanagement, overconfidence and lack of security of our youngest president. John F. Kennedy. The failure of this operation caused a rise in tension between the two great superpowers. The blame for Cuba’s fall out falls directly into the lap of the president and the CIA. The motive to eliminate Cuba is because of their relationship with Soviet Union, and U.S. hatred toward Soviet only strengthen Kennedy’s beliefs that Cuba possess concrete thereat for the U.S. One reason for this obsession may be the widely believed concept that all communisms emerged from the same source and had a unified goal: to challenge imperialism and take over the world. The source of communism at that era was Soviet Union, which possess a great power equaled only by U.S. A decade earlier, Senator Joseph McCarthy ordered a witch-hunt to track down all individuals involved in communism. The hunt send signal and terror to American society, it quickly led into beliefs that communism are threatening their lives, whether it exist in U.S. or outside U.S. The Bay of Pigs incident highlights such paranoia.
