This is where the paradox of anti-war principles collides with the raw realities of governance and power. You can oppose interventionism in principle and yet feel genuine relief or even elation when an entrenched authoritarian is removed. The contradiction is only apparent on the surface. The deeper issue is that the removal of a leader in a country like Venezuela inevitably exists within a power structure where external influence is both likely and sometimes necessary for change, yet often corrupts the outcome beyond recognition.
