If the US became isolationist we could spend some of our tax dollars inproving the life a of Americans. For 50 years the US taxpayer has paid to protect Western Europe, Japan, S. Korea, Israel, Canada and others. In that time our tax dollars have gone overseas instead of paying for better education, better healthcare and improving the lives of Americans. We could do a lot better for Americans short term if we pulled out.
The flip side is that if we pull out the vaccum will be filled by something else, probably the Islamic world. It has the desire, the growth and the money. Europe is rapidly losing it's identity due to the huge influx of north African immigrants. In time due to differential birthrates Islam will be the religion and culture of all of Europe.

I don't think that Islam would fill the void, just newer oppressive governments.....oh....wait....
