Until the motives, participants, enabling events before and after and the long term results of the Kennedy assassination are established, it remains possible that a similar event could again occur which is a frightening thought.
So yes there is at least one person out here who still cares.
A lot of people care, often out of curiosity if nothing more. So far they have blamed the CIA, FBI, Mafia, Castro, Johnson, and the Hunt Brothers. I think it was probably Oswald by himself with possibly the Soviets knowing it was going to happen but not being instrumental in the actual killing. Oswald was nuts to begin with.
I know JFK the movie had too many fabrications to be one's legitimate source, but if half of what they say in that film is correct, then to believe Oswald acted alone is akin to saying you believe in the Easter Bunny. How does a shot from behind knock his head backwards and blow off the back of his skull? Exit wounds, from what I've read, are far messier than the entrance wound. Also, with the leaves on the trees you couldn't get a clean site (sight? I'm not really up on my gun lingo) for all three shots.
Also, I've found a strange irony in the fact that the probable conspirators, right wingers, created their absolute nightmare of a country: while the world was already changing, the Kennedy assassination was a hugely destabilizing and traumatic event for America. I don't think the Sixties (the Sexual Revolution, drugs, Civil Rights) would've unfolded in quite the same way had Kennedy gotten to finish out his presidency naturally.
I think the people who conspired to kill him hoped that in doing so they would preserve their way of life.
