MacPherson was stunned.

No one was going to contemplate taking preemptive military action against Moscow. There were too many risks. The stakes were too high. Was Bennett serious?

Maybe it had been a mistake to bring him back in the loop so quickly. Gogolov had almost killed him. He was still on heavy medication. He was desperate to find Erin.

His judgment was impaired, to say the least.

MacPherson felt sorry for Bennett. He loved him like his own son. He hated to see Bennett suffering like he was. Perhaps a weekend at Camp David together would give them a chance to relax, catch up, and get back on the same page. For now, though, MacPherson had a decision to make, and it wasn't one Bennett was going to like.

He directed his secretary of state to fly to Europe with the goal of keeping NATO and the E.U. from jumping into bed with Gogolov and to reassure them they would not be subject to economic blackmail.

He directed Bennett to go to Jerusalem to coordinate with Doron on a response to the Gogolov offensive and to get Mordechai's take on the crisis.

And then he ordered his national security advisor to draft a prime-time address for him to deliver the following Tuesday night.

Jack Mitchell was right. It was time to challenge Gogolov on Russian hypocrisy. It was time to let the world know that Russia was, in fact, introducing dangerous nuclear technology to the Middle East, not trying to create a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region, as Gogolov claimed.

He just prayed it would work.

The country didn't have the stomach for another war.
