The world doesn't need the USA to step in to police us, we actually want USA to look after themselves.

I disagree with you.
This world needs accountability.
If the despots of the Middle East were decent and if their countrymen were not hell bent on blowing up innocent people and each other-- if the good people were in power all around the world, then our posture could be diffferent.
What your post fails to address is that America does good all around the world. The presence, influence and strength of America keeps the despots in check, for the most part.
