I have to agree with LD on his first point (not his last ones!). Power and might are existing entities that have to be taken into consideration. Just as the US would not be such a dominating force if it did not have the military power it has, in the same way you have to make allies and "friends" with those who have power in a country when trying to bring peace.
What often goes wrong, I think, is that you get used to your so-called friends, which were needed in the beginning, and overlook their growing tendencies to misuse their power.
