Sounds like we agree on that one. It is splitting hairs to talk about "official US Policy", as there are enough historical words and letters which make clear the intentions and excuses behind the conquest of the continent and mexico.
As you well know, there is no official German policy from WWII to kill millions of catholics, communists, jews and gypsies. Still, it was done. Modern Governments know how to use the chain of command and big hints to achieve results without putting them into print.
I'm not even speaking out against the conquests. I'm just stating that using God as an excuse for violence or selfishness or even nature and beauty is not my thing. I prefer to know who I am dealing with and why. We conquer because we can. Nature and beauty are the perception of the miracles of science. If folks would only understand that the real truth is even more fantastic than their Gods, we might be getting somewhere.
Einstein would love that one.
