Works for me, too, but I would want this goal in writing, as part of the platform put to the public.
He might look good on a coin after all.

It is and has been, to some extent, for months. Look at Romney's Strategy for a Stronger America which is his platform. In that document, you will find the following:

The failure of efforts such as the United Nations Human Rights Council has given multilateralism a bad name. America’s strength is amplified when it is combined with the strength of other nations.We need to expand alliances such as NATO and efforts among the world’s leading nations to face the new threat of radical Jihad and increase our homeland security.We need to build global and regional capacities and networks of law enforcement and intelligence officials to confront Jihadists and other transnational threats.

And later in his platform...

In the changing world we face, our alliances and engagement must change, too. Clearly, the United Nations has not been able to fulfill its founding purpose of providing collective security against aggression and genocide. Thus, we need to continue to push for reform of the organization. Yet where institutions are fundamentally incapable of meeting a new generation of challenges, the United States does not have to go it alone. Instead, we must examine where existing alliances can be strengthened and reinvigorated and where new alliances need to be forged.

What he's saying is that the U.N. has demonstrated that it is a failure. If it can't be reformed and remains incapable of meeting today's threats of jihadism, etc., then we will not go our own way but forge new alliances to replace the U.N.
