You are confused. The embarrassment you feel is subconsciously for yourself. In reality you are a 'let's continue what we're doing because eventually it will work out'.
You've conveniently forgotten what your tirade against me was all about. I stated that I withdrew from W. F. Buckley and National Review after he sided with Carter to decide that giving away the Panama Canal to a relatively new nation was a good idea. At the time of the inception of the idea by TR to build the canal 'Panama' was part of Columbia and now an agency of the PRC is running things.
Giving the CZ to Panama was a stupid mistake!
You’re spent a lot of time in Panama?
