Congressman Dan Burton: "Don't Threaten Chavez "

Read this article concerning Dan Burton's comments on Hugo Chavez. I am confused on what he is advocating concerning relations with Venezuela? How about asking and opening up dialogue with Chavez like this: why are you stealing private property, removing personal freedoms, and what is the deal with your alliances to terrorist countries? Please no more "Fact Finding" trips to Cuba or Venezuela, just get to the truth and ask the hard questions!
