Lets see, WW1, WW2, Falklands, Suez to name more than a couple of situations where America has turned it's back on it's allies.
If some nations have the ability to help the world then it would be dishonourable not too. This does not mean ignoring problems at home, infact, if you think about it, america could ask other countries to help with it's own problems. I know it's easy for you to forget, but America is part of the world, so included in the better world that could be built.
