I would say, "It depends".

The US has been criticized many times for how long we "didn't intervene" in those two little European wars last century.

No, sometimes it is in our best interest to intervene (which may or may not coincide with other's interests.)

On the other hand, I am very much for pulling our troops out of countries like Germany and Italy where, to the best of my knowledge, they have a stable, democratic government.
