It bothers me that Europeans will leave themselves completely vulnerable, they won't pay their taxes to have strong armies and defense but when things go bad, they will expect Americans to go over and save them.

But the Swiss don't expect America or anyone to defend them.

Same logic applies to individuals. The worthless folks make bad decisions and then expect to be bailed out by those who were thoughtful enough to plan ahead. We do a diservice when we claim to help though. The best way to help a man or a nation is to let them suffer the consequences of their decision so they will be enlightened.
