"Mr. Daryaei, here is the reply of the United States of America"

President Jack Ryan handled it best in "Executive orders" (Tom Clancy).

Iranian Ayatollah Daryaei had unleashed a deadly Ebola bio-attack against the US. Finally pegged down who was responsible, and Ryan had a live press conference.

"Mr. Daryaei, here is the reply of the United States of America", and closed circuit TV shows Daryaei's residence, much to his horror. Seconds later, the residence is obliterated from above.

OK, that "cowboy" style wouldn't fly in anything but fiction, I suppose. But I would have watched and cheered the other night.

6. It's called fiction for a reason

And usually in fiction, you get to hear all the relevant details.

Reality is not so neat.
