Might be worth pointing out here that the current US policy of limiting intervention in other countries and intervening only with multilateral support is largely an attempt to regain the circle of friends, the influence, and the relatively almost sort of positive image the US enjoyed before the Bush administration decided that unilateral preemptive intervention was a Good Thing. The world at large is not very comfortable with the idea of an intervention-minded America, and Americans aren't too comfortable with it either: one reason why they voted for a guy who promised a more reticent policy toward intervention.
A more interventionist policy is not likely to win friends and influence people. More the opposite.
