Yessss! We need to use our heavy international weight to guide a diplomatic and peaceful foreign policy.
Biggest problem with misuse & abuse of US military power is it leaves us w/out moral authority to apply it when it’s the right thing to do. We should use force when:US is directly threatened, an ally directly threatened, or humanitarian order of the world is directly threatened.

We need to put far more emphasis on peace-creation (which for the most part we hardly do at all). Peace is not the absence of war; war is the absence of peace. Peacebuilding is achieved through humanitarian and educational support, particularly when applied to women and children.

You had me until the last bit. "Humanitarian order" can, and has, been used to justify any number of unnecessary military interventions. I wish you would use your platform to advocate for a more restrained foreign policy, rather than just channeling neo-con/neo-lib orthodoxy.
