Didn't see "Sum of All Fears", any good?

Good flick, but not like the book. Unfortunately, Hollywood caved in to the PC of not identifying elements of the Middle East as being the culprits. The book almost paints a very realist scenario. The movie was certainly entertaining though. The Clancy character John Clark was portrayed as well.

No.

The book was about Arab terrorists getting a nuke. Hollywood isn't afraid of Arab terrorists -- it kinda likes them -- so the movie makers changed the Arab terrorists to the much more believable threat (if you're a typical Hollywood exec, meaning a left-liberal atheist of Jewish heritage) of European Neo-Nazis. The relentless PC of the moviemakers ruined what might have been a good film.

Why, we can't show the terrorists as being from the race and religion responsible for over 90% of terrorism... that would be stereotyping. Paugh.

d.o.l.
