No, I'm all for upholding treaties and for the rule of law but I'm opposed to singling out someone for something like this when it had been standard practice. Kennedy was in office for about 2 1/2 years and in that time was no more subversive of this country's values than the long line of presidents before him who had used the Monroe Doctrine to justify all sorts of questionable stuff.

This kind of hyperbole:

If you would take the time to read it in its entirety you will,I hope, attain a fuller understanding of the scope of the perfidy involved.  I am not referring here to a breaking of faith with the insurgents whom we paid,trained and equipped but rather the subversion of the values of the United States of America and the lies told to us and the world by our president.

certainly makes it appear that you're claiming Kennedy did something new and novel that previous presidents had not which is of course utterly incorrect. In particular the scope of his perfidy was the same as Eisenhower's and much less than Wilson who invaded no less than 4 western hemisphere nations during his two terms.
