Explore the idea of a good and evil dichotomy in U.S. foreign policy. Provide examples to support your answer.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should identify the good and evil dichotomy as a part of the cultural root of the U.S. foreign policy paradox. Further, answers should discuss how good and evil are part of a sense of national exceptionalism in which foreign policy is justified through moral lenses. Examples can include the Soviet Union’s being referred to as an “evil empire,” post–Cold War states as “rogue,” and the reference to an “axis of evil.”
