I believe that international rules, norms, laws, and institutions serve America’s long-term national interests. Trump doesn’t.

But if there’s one thing that History - including the history of my own people - has taught me, it’s this:
You cannot impose freedom upon others. They must seek that freedom for themselves, on their own terms.

I hope that in the case of Venezuela, Americans will learn their lesson. But I’m afraid they will not, because far too Americans today - like their President - believe that neither rules nor History apply to them.

I do believe that one can celebrate the ousting of a dictator while also condemning the means to do that ousting.
And I believe one can still celebrate the freeing of others while condemning the arrogance of those who believe they know what’s best for those people whom they are freeing.

They are outraged for many of the same reasons that Venezuelans are grateful - that one man decided to do something about the situation, even if he ignores the rules and everyone else who cares about those rules.

I can understand why Venezuelans who have suffered greatly under the Nicholas Maduro regime may be celebrating today.
For them, the removal of a brutal dictator is tantamount to liberation. And that’s something they are justifiably grateful for.

May God have mercy on all of us should we ever return to that world at war.
