Eisenhower would have been one of my choices, but see {ost #139 for the most cosmopolitan of all, John Quincy Adams (excerpt):

In 1841, Adams successfully argued before the Supreme Court that African prisoners who had rebelled against their captors on the slave ship Amistad were deserving of freedom. During his two-day argument, Adams repeatedly directed the justices’ attention to copies of the Declaration of Independence displayed in the courtroom, asserting “I ask nothing more in [sic] behalf of these unfortunate men, than this Declaration.”

What more can one ask for than this great break out of monarchy, popery, and/or anarchy/mobocracy?

(He won the case, of cours. Best reference to a great sea-change in all Western history.)
