Actually Obama is a pragmatist, he garners a lot of criticism from the American left (and myself included) for not pushing harder on things, but that's largely because he's more results-oriented than ideology oriented, and so is more willing to flex to get points on the board rather than to push strange agendas
As for your commentary about leaving NATO meaning Europe's destruction: by whom? Who in the world could threaten, say, France alone, let alone the combined might of France, Germany, Britain, and to a lesser extent Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands? The only possible candidate is Russia, and they are way too messed up on their own problems right now to really hope to fight anything resembling a first-world country over anything

There's an American left?
As for who is able to destroy Western Europe, China, Russia and the Middle East could all do it very easily. Not because we have weak armies. Because we have timid, cowardly governments who are terrified to use them.

The cowardly governments that are beating Libya to a pulp over what is essentially an internal Libyan affair?

The cowardly governments who were only willing to perpetuate the fight for democracy because America was behind them.

I dunno. For all I can tell, the US had to be pulled into that one and woulda preffered to not be involved.
Maybe that's just how the US media has been playing it though. The US having to send in Predator drones very much seemed to play a lot like Germany always having to bail out Italy in WW2 though.
