I would like to see nations of the Americas get together in council and decide the fate of a sick and failing nation. To come up with solutions and act towards the best, or at least the most agreeable, one. Even if that is military invasion, at least it would have been decided together with our role being supportive rather than unilateral.
In short, the United States needs to step back and let Venezuela's neighbors have a large role to play in this. Granted, I don't think they'd go for military intervention. But there are ways to picture an economic restoration negotiated with the existing government. And ways to pressure / force them to tow the line short of large scale violence.
We have great power. Rarely do we wield it properly.
