My 401k does have some international funds. While it is good to have a bit, they are as you say higher fees and so not always a good investment.
I'm not sure they are really diversification though. The major US companies have a lot of international exposure already so you don't gain much diversification. And of course they don't really protect you from a collapse of the US government (odds are either they are hit as well, or you can't prove you own them anymore)
