Zeld2.0, you say that WW2 came upon us because of a power vacuum. Now, suppose the US were to return to it's isolationist ways... wouldn't that create an even larger power vacuum, which would lead to world-wide chaos?
For example, with the US gone, what would stop North-Korea from invading the South, China from invading Taiwan, Israel's neighbors from invading them? The US is a source of stability in these areas of the world, and with them gone, all hell would break loose.
Of course, I could also point out (and do now) that isolationism can't possibly work in today's world, with all the interlinked economies, global mass communication and cheap air transport to and from the US. It simply won't work, because the US needs the world, and the world needs the US.
