Well, I for one believe in policing the sea. Don't worry, we tie them all up to the pier someone else will take over for us and when we have to eventually go back out and un-screw the mess the cost will be severe. Isolationism leads to really crappy wars.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Even if America does not "police the world", there's still a need for force-projection. Just ask Thomas Jefferson.
