All this talk of Andrew Roberts reminds me of G.K. Chesterton's funny isolationist poem, "The World State":
Oh, how I love Humanity, With love so pure and pringlish, And how I hate the horrid French, Who never will be English! The International Idea, The largest and the clearest, Is welding all the nations now, Except the one that's nearest. This compromise has long been known, This scheme of partial pardons, In ethical societies And small suburban gardens— The villas and the chapels where I learned with little labour The way to love my fellow-man And hate my next-door neighbour.
One of those Athens-to-Rome games of Mad Libs, where "England" can be replaced with "America" with no loss of cogency.

Indeed, in all the Star Trek plots involving time travel, it’s never suggested that the good characters need not worry about some bad guy going back in time and meddling with things since it would just create a new time-line that cannot effect the one that the characters are in.
