...but this nation is something special. It was even hailed at its conception across the world as "a beacon of hope."
So what? Destiny is a ridiculous concept. This is a little too jingoistic for me.
All I mean is, did something occur that changed the country's future. Destiny was just a synonym for it.
Everything changes the future.
Ugh, yes, but all I was saying is did something occur to change America's fate from a great neutral nation to become a world policeman.
America has never been this "neutral nation" that Americans of a certain political stripe like to delude themselves it was. Ask the Canadians.
Even Better; Ask the Mexicans - or the Native Americans.
