fun-fact: CIA is currently mucking around in Greenland trying to get rid of people against annexation

"... there were three basic tenets behind the concept:

The assertion of its mission to redeem the world by the spread of republican government and more generally the "American way of life".

The faith in the nation's divinely ordained destiny to succeed in this mission." ?
