Presidents certainly matter peace-wise, but a peace-loving president may not guarantee us peace in the Middle East or in the Ukraine. Not only is the situation in the theaters beyond a president's control, but so is the weight and inertia of U.S. policies a president may not feel at liberty to overturn. There be many men, women, and institutionalized factions surrounding the Oval Office.
