So long as anyone wants to initiate force against another for any reason there will not be peace. This includes forcing someone to give up their hard earned money (taxes), forcing someone to not put certain things in their bodies (drug laws), forcing someone to live by the ways of your religion, etc.

It had nothing to do with the League of Nations -- it had to do with the fact that Western European people wanted to exact revenge on the Germans.
Wilson was unable to get protectionist conservatives to go along with his plans. Truman was much smarter after WWII. His plan to rebuild Germany rather than loot it led to a Europe where countries did not need to go to war.
Truman was also a bleliever in a principal that Bush would be wise to emulate. He believed that if you don't care about taking the credit for something then you will be able to accomplish much more. He was willing to let his plan be called The Marshall Plan because he knew that Republicans would get behind General Marshall when they wouldn't get behind him.

Simple, it had no teeth.
Hard to keep the peace if you can muster no army to enforce it.
