Tom Clancy vs. Doesnât Get It
EFL Read the whole thing...DGI At one point your protagonists debate the legitimacy of the preemptive killing of potential murderers. TC Would you prefer to have a hero without a conscience? Real people have them, including U.S. Marines. DGI But that particular debate seems especially relevant in light of our recent war on Iraq. TC If people make war on us, we have the right to make war back. Actually, one of my characters says that in so many words. And in war you donât knock on the guyâs door and say, âCan you come outside so I can shoot you in the face?â You just kill them. Because in war the rules are different. Well, weâre in a war now with terrorism; we should use different tactics, tactics that would be somewhat more effective than what weâre doing now. DGI That seems to be what youâre saying in your book. TC No. Iâm telling a story; Iâm not making a political statement. Posted by: Jon 2003-08-13 |
