"theodore c. sorensen's memorandum, october 18, 1962." list the possible courses of action, including some advantages and disadvantages of each. i'm not sure the courses of action

He outlined two possible course of action during the Cuban Missile Crisis.  One was military action but if that course was chosen, it would result in nuclear war that would devastate the world.  Another was through diplomatic actions.  The second choice worked as both sides realized the magnitude of the situation if war would result and chose negotiation.
