I didn't expect any help from them.

That's not why I want to leave NATO.

It didn't look very defensive when the Europeans dragged NATO into Libya.
Nobody got "dragged" in. Being that NATO is a defensive pact, no country was under any obligation to participate. There is exactly one time in history when a NATO country has actually invoked the treaty that requires help from other members, and I'm sure you know which country that was.
