“...What is meant by the divine will? The divine will is that the forces that oppose you will eventually work for you. Although FDR and his New Deal allies did not want to make America an empire, although McCarthy and the opponents of the New Deal did not want to make America an empire, and although neither the supporters nor the opponents of the Vietnam War thought of America as an empire, the combined force of their actions pushed America step by step on the path to becoming an empire. When the New Deal pushed America to the left, it brought America one step closer to be an empire; when Cold-War liberalism pushed America to the right, it brought America one step closer to be an empire; when the neoconservatives pushed America even further to the right, it made this America more of an empire than ever before.”
