Because people die in wars. If you're not apart of it, many of those people won't be yours. Why take on the expense, loss of life, and political hardship of a war when it is unnecessary? The US decided to stay out of it until two things changed their minds: A. The sinking of their shipping by German U-Boats B. The Zimmerman Telegram, in which Germany was trying to start a war against the US with Mexico as their ally. When America became the target of aggression it decided to join the Great War, but before then there was not much motivation to do so, it just wasn't seen as their problem.
Congress did not want to get involved because no aggressive act had been made toward the US. They were afraid that by joining the war it would bring an attack to US soil.
