During the Cold War and the “War on Terror,” did the United States act mostly as a force for good both at home and internationally or did it mostly act in a harmful manner, both at home and abroad?

During the Cold War and the “War on Terror,” did the United States act mostly as a force for good both at home and internationally or did it mostly act in a harmful manner, both at home and abroad?

Any side is find by me to be debated

No outside sources. Only the book. Down below!
Two have to be primary sources from the list below: (these sources are in the book but it needs 2 pieces of evidence from this )
World War Two PostersAiko Herzig-Yoshinaga on Japanese Internment, 1942/1994)
Senator Margaret Chase Smith’s “Declaration of Conscience” (1950)
Paul Robeson’s Appearance Before the House Un-American Activities Committee (1956)
Rosa Parks on Life in Montgomery, Alabama (1956-1958)
George M. Garcia, Vietnam Veteran, Oral Interview (1969/2012)
Statement by John Kerry of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, 1971
Jesse Jackson on the Rainbow Coalition (1984)
Pat Buchanan on the Culture War (1992)
And two pieces of evidence from anywhere else in chapter 25,27-30 book.
