Well, this was the sentiment of most Americans after World War 1. It took the attack on Perl Harbor for Roosevelt to have enough support from congress to join WWII.
I think that after WWII the US government made part of its foreign policy to use economic integration and military might to prevent any country from ever dragging them into WWIII.
I am personally not worried about China, Russia, the middle east or even North Korea. But I would be seriously worried to see Japan rebuild their military because we pulled our bases out of there.
