Quote:No, the demons are not banished; that is a difficult task that still lies ahead. Now that the angel of history has abandoned the Germans,* the demons will seek a new victim. And that won't be difficult. Every man who loses his shadow, every nation that falls into self-righteousness, is their prey.... We should not forget that exactly the same fatal tendency to collectivization is present in the victorious nations as in the Germans, that they can just as suddenly become a victim of the demonic powers.

I think this quote sums up what happened to the U.S. after WWII. Assume Prescott Bush and his partners at Brown Brothers Harriman were in charge of laundering money for defeated Germans. In the back of their minds the shadow took root, telling them they were doing it for moral reasons. The end result was George W. Bush, a victim of demonic powers if ever there was one.
