Your post reads as if you would rather those aggressors who threaten America to not be disposed of. How is the world a better place with the aggressors than without?

None of the recently attacked countries posed an imminent threat to the US.

In what kind of deranged world are we living that people are fighting against the notion that waging war on another country should be a costly decision!?

My, the Overton window has indeed shifted far.

We're talking about Americans.

What genuine threat did Venezuela or Iran pose to Americans? Corporate interests don't count.

Yes, I don't believe we should pre-emptively "dispose of" them, as if we were talking about garbage instead of human beings.
