OT for Conservatives who think war is grand

You are confusing the issue. It's one thing to go to the aid of an ally that
has been attacked. The PNAC doctrine encourages
"preemptive" strikes on countries that *may* be a *potential* threat to us,
(solely determined by the Executive Branch).

Is not the 'picking of allies' part of the shaping of circumstances
which you find so abhorrent? Is not the picking of allies in our
fundamental interests? Is it our right to pick our allies? Chuck,
these are all things you find arrogant!

Very weird response, John. I compared defending an ally that has been attacked
vs. conducting preemptive strikes on govts. we just don't like for one reason
or another......

and you respond with a comment about how we have a right to pick our allies.

Of course we have a right to pick our allies.

How about the right to conduct preemptive military strikes against governments
we believe might eventually become a potential threat?

Chuck, reread my response. I asked you the questions. I stated nothing
regarding the picking of our allies.
