MidNight, you're forgetting when the Burrito Warriors of Xenon-5 were called in and wiped out the Greasy Stains of Saturn.
During the Cold War domestically in the United States there was the McCarthyist paranoia of a 'commie spy/activist' hiding behind every tree.
In terms of foreign policy it gets quite complex. Basically, however, the policy was to stem 'communist expansionism' wherever it might be found: Viet Nam; Korea; Yemen; Cuba and so on.
Others, however, saw this 'stemming of expansionism' on the part of the United States as 'American expansionism'. There are evidently two 'truths'.
At home people saw the state activities as protecting national interests as well as protecting unknowing and uneducated people throughout the world from 'communism'. Many outside the United States (especially in those countries where the United States was engaged militarily) perceived these activities as bullying and interfering in the business of their state where the United States had no right to be.
