So while I will never minimize the costs involved in military action I am convinced that a failure to act in Libya would have carried a far greater price for America.
The first novel I wrote was a monster - clocking in at 180 000 words - but it died a death a death it deserved. It was called 'The Gods First Make Mad.' It was a good title but it was the only good thing about the book. I didn't let that put me off.
