Being sucked into another world war would be fun too.
By being an isolationist you are just hoping that you can avoid the next conflict, but if they get too big you get sucked in anyways.
Example, we could just ignore Iran, and let Europe (ha) deal with it, but then when this continues and we are faced with several nuclear armed radical islamic states it may be far worse than nipping it in the bud now.
