Maybe Jimmy Carter?
I could be wrong but I suspect that the US has to be a bit of a warmonger for international diplomacy to work well at the moment. The USA can play "bad-cop" with other nations taking the role of "good-cop" to negotiate, and the fear of action from the United States military can prevent a lot of bloodshed. The mistakes made by the last few administrations have been to alienate close allies that could act as a "good-cop" (Canada would be the most natural choice IMO) and to try to go it alone.
