As for letting the Europeans look after themselves, the USA ended up rescuing Europe in WWI and WWII
QUOTE]
Please stop repeating this old wifes tale about how the US saved Europe in WW I. There are no military or political evidence to support this view. It simply isn't true.
In WW II in the European theater, Russia inflicted 4 out of 5 German casualties. And right up to the end of the war in Europe the Germans used the Western Front (American and British front) to rest and refit their troops. Lend Lease was vitally important to England but much less so to Russia. This does not dismiss the efforts and bravery of all of the Western Allies (American, English, Free French, Polish, etc) who fought and sacificed for freedom, but dismissing the Russians effort and skill in defeating the Germans is just a historical whitewash.
