See below for details.\nMany in the world see the influence of the United States as a force for good. It applies pressure on authoritarian regimes such as Iran to abide by human rights, and it supports nations such as Ukraine defending themselves against imperial aggression. But others argue that the Afghanistan and Iraq interventions show that American exceptionalism and the attempt to play the world\u2019s policeman have wreaked irrevocable havoc which the rest of the world is still paying a price for today.\nThis week ahead of Tuesday\u2019s midterm elections in the US on The Sunday Debate, we\u2019re asking - is America a force for good in the world?
