They sure were. Communism was and is (China/North Korea) an extremely persecuting style of governing. Half the world it seemed, at times, was under one red flag or another. What started out as an attempt in Russia to make everyone equal, with equal rights, soon deteriorated into the rich at the top getting everything; and the ordinary people getting the scraps. Secret police forces came to life in communist countries to protect "the system" and yet got so bad they ended up murdering anyone they thought was "anti-system". That wasnt going to happen to western Christian democracies.

Was the US justified in implementing the policy of containment?

The United States certainly justified its actions within itself. Communism, the target of the containment policy, posed a serious threat in the minds of post-WWII America. Thus, containing it and preventing its growth was most certainly justified and the correct thing to do. In the minds of others, such as those sympathetic to the Communist ideology, the US was far from justified.
