In fact I'm expecting that eventually Clancy is going to reveal that Ryan is the second coming of christ. After all he has single handedly...Masterminded the defection of a Russian SSBN.Defeated two hit team of IRA terrorists.Prevented a nuclear war. Brought Peace to the middle east.Managed to perfect the US Economy by implementing "Reganomics". Made Russia a stable democracy.Brought democracy to China. Risen from a CIA analyst, to the President of the USA, all while never being wrong, never commiting any acts of dubious legality, maintained perfect integrity and commitment to DOING THE RIGHT THING.The one that really got me was in Bear and the Dragon, when he chewed out some guy for not living up to the example of the founding fathers. Saying something to the effect of "The founding fathers assumed that everyone who came after them in the government would be as moral and self sacrificing as they were".Which only shows that Mr. Clancy flunked US History 101, because they designed our form of government presuming that everyone who came after them would be greedy, corrupt and powerhungry.</blockquote>
