*chuckles softly*<br/><br/>It's interesting to note that Tom Clancy's novel "Debt of Honour",<strong>published in 1996</strong>, features a Boeing 747 being crashed into the US capitol building in Washington DC, in what was effectively a decapitation strike, just after Jack Ryan was confirmed as Vice President. He thus gets elevated to President by default.<br/><br/>It has been the subject of speculation whether this novel in any way inspired the events that occurred seven years later!<br/><br/>Interesting point: In The Sum Of All Fears, Islamic terrorists detonate a nuclear device at the US superbowl. Makes one wonder...!
