For your Kind information its Indian Prime minister Our Chacha Nerhu who allowed the Chinese to have a upper hand, Indian Army was not allowed to open fire. The Indian Airforce was more powerful than the Chinese then but was not allowed to participate in War.
And it was not Kennedy who stopped China but Russians (Gashrov) who did not wanted the US to have a Base in the Indian Subcontinent.
Again Kashmir was lost because of our gr8 Chacha nerhu who took the matter to UN and made a cease fire when the Indian Army was against it.
Yes rightly said US is a biggest follower of Democracy see the Democratic nations they have build, Pakistin, Afganistan, Iraq, Saudi (USA has one of their largest milatary base outside here).
US is only working for their own profits be it chinese or Indian they only understand their own returns.
