I do agree that it is better that a collective consensus and check on power should be required so that one person in a government cannot go it alone like a dictator.
Now having said that, knowing our U.S. history, it seems outside WW1 and WW2 the U.S. has had a very bad long term foreign policy even going back to the Barbary Treaty.
But especially after WW2 we have gotten into stalemates and or made things worse. This is not a left or right issue for me. I think we need to use more diplomacy and need to understand that the nature of conflict and our smaller world and our enemy's ability to blend in has changed the nature of how we combat conflict. I think we still have far too much old school power who are still stuck on our WW2 victory.
We cannot be isolationists but we also cannot be the world's police.
