I don’t think it would be a good idea to invade another country with large oil reserves and then to try and convince the world that it’s because you want to give the people freedom. Unless you can find some WMD, of course...
People are out of touch with the new reality. The U.S. is now a (very small) oil exporter. Higher oil prices actually add to U.S. GDP. The best thing for the U.S. is for Venezuelan oil to stay in the ground and to accomplish that all the U.S. has to do is nothing.
