<< the real reason america emerged relatively unscathed through the two world wars and europe fell to decline was because we stayed out of the beginning of the wars >>

Nope, not quite. The real reason was that apart from Pearl Harbor and some skirmishes in the Aleutians, the war never came to American soil. Europe was devastated because that's where the (land) war was. Simple as that.

Would you have preferred we wait until the war eventually came to us and we had to start fighting in our own streets? (Never happen, you say? Never is a long, long time...)
