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

Well, then someone's using your name here, John. Here's what you wrote:

"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!"

Doug, read the paragraph. Are they interrogative or declarative
sentences?

They're obviously acrylic.

They're obviously written in response to this writing from Chuck:
********************************************
We need to "shape circumstances" in the rest of the world so they are
most
favorable to our "fundamental interests"? We assume that it is our
right, or
mandate, to do so. How arrogant.

Like I said, John, technique is everything. There are hints that our style
is becoming macabre.

But you still haven't answered the questions. I think that you and
Chuck are both pretty astute individuals, and you know where those
questions were leading. So I won't press for an answer any more.
