The fact remains that in some nations, the regimes have become destructive of the ends Mr. Jefferson outlined.

Yours is a really twisted interpretation of Jefferson. Just an FYI, Jefferson was talking about OUR OWN government.

Jefferson would have been the last person to advocate overthrowing another country's government:

"Nations are to be judges for themselves, since no one nation has a right to sit in judgment over another." 1793 Memo from Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson to President Washington

As I've explained elsewhere, this is not 1793. And the situation today is far different. The choice is between appeasement or victory. Ask the Barbary Pirates if Jefferson chose appeasement.
