I'd have been perfectly happy leaving our navy parked off their coastline and blowing up the "fishing boats" indefinitely. I didn't want regime change.
But now that it's happened, I hope it's less disastrous than all of the other regime changes. I think the main difference here is that Venezuela was already a complete nightmare, so it's difficult to see how it could possibly get worse, whereas most of the other regime changes we've undertaken were in previously relatively stable countries.
