The balanced approach in talking to people is always important. Concentrating on conflict resolution is a worthy goal if it's a viable one, if it's workable. To be a player in conflict resolution, you have to have leverage with some of the parties. We've done this in the past, but at the moment our leverage with Venezuela is not sufficient for us to be agreed upon as a mediator in that process.
