American decision makers thought it was a good idea becuase they were are neighbors and it was our "duty" to re-build them. With out them at their best we had no support if something would break out. Also these countries asked for our help. When a country is in distress people look to radicalism, which was a major threat when these governments were suffering, communism was a realistic possibility. We needed to prevent the spread of communism to our allies.
