"If we are attacked, we will defend ourselves. I repeat, we have sufficient means with which to defend ourselves; we have indeed our inevitable weapons, the weapons which we would have preferred not to acquire and which we do not wish to employ." - Osvaldo Dorticos, President of Cuba. "We reaffirm that the armaments which are in Cuba, regardless of the classification to which they may belong, are intended solely for defensive purposes in order to secure the Republic of Cuba against the attack of an aggressor. I hope that the United States Government will display wisdom and renounce the actions pursued by you, which may lead to catastrophic consequences for world peace." - Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union "I now know how Tojo felt when he was planning Pearl Harbor." - Robert Kennedy, US Attorney General.
