Colombia and Venezuela restored diplomatic relations

Why did Colombia even agree to such a stupid resolution? If I were in charge of Colombia, or any other country for that matter, I'd recommend cutting off all ties to Venezuela because of Hugo Chavez and his crappy regime in which several violations and abuses of human rights have taken place. He is a dictator and he needs to be assassinated because of his cavalier attitude towards his critics, even going so far as revoking a TV station's license because of its support of a coup attempt against Chavez. This wanton silencing of critics is not on and the four honorary doctorates he has should all be revoked just like what happened with Mugabe in 2008.
