Entirely true. But one of the points you don’t mention is that American foreign policy is often driven by a similarly twisted religion– Christianity coopted by nationalism. Historically there are two ways to counter such an abomination: secularism that supercedes all religion, and a spiritual revival strong enough to call people back to the roots of the coopted religion.

Given the religious history of the U.S., secularism is unlikely to work. (Indeed, it has been tried and has the opposite effect.) Thus the only remaining option is a spiritual “revolution,” a call to return to the trachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

Oh, there is a third option: destruction of the nation. Hopefully it won’t come to that.
