What does the R-tsunami mean for peace?

Hard to tell of course, but money is going to be tight.  Aaron David Miller has already argued on the merits that the President should “go small and stay home” (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/11/01/go_small_and_stay_home). The Republican House is likely to make limited engagement abroad a financial necessity.  The Tea Partiers aren’t likely to align with John McCain on the war in Afghanistan any more than with Hillary Clinton on enhancing American diplomacy and international development.  Better duck:  this is one more pendulum swinging to the (isolationist) right.
