I think that the US was more concerned with establishing a strong defense by allying itself with large and more influential countries against a possible eventual Soviet attack than it was with rebuilding small, less powerful nations. Although getting the support of smaller nations in an attempt to prevent Communism from extending to them was definitely a motive, the US spent much more money on rebuilding the bigger powers (France, Britain, Germany, Italy), and size/population was not the major cause because the amounts spent would still be disproportionate.
