U.S. Gov: Caracas a war zone.

According the U.S. embassy Caracas is a tropical Bahgdad.
U.S. Gov: Caracas a war zone.
This a warning posted by the U.S. citizens. In the mind of the U.S. Departament of State the capital of Venezuela is something akin to a tropical Baghdad. And yet, this agency of the U.S. government has been insistent in looking for political accommodation with the Venezuelan regime, a gang of thieves. If Venezuela is a rogue state, why would the U.S. government insist in keeping ''good relations'' with it? Why doesn't the U.S. take a strong, principle-driven posture against the bunch of gangster who have taken over the Venezuelan government? President Obama should start living up to his professed principles and values concerning democracy and justice. Today, the U.S. is viewed by Venezuelan democrats as too passive an actor in the fight for democracy in Venezuela.
I find this difficult to understand.
