If it were up to Ronald Reagan, we still would have thousands of men holding the Panama Canal Zone.
Then why don't we? The canal treaty didn't go into effect until 1999. If President Reagan was so convinced it was a mistake and a strategic threat to the U.S. then he could have cancelled the treaty. But he didn't. His administration followed the terms of the treaty and turned over land and facilities on schedule. His opposition certainly didn't turn out to be as deeply felt as you seem to believe.
Lame all the way around. No thzanks, I will keep Hawaii, the oil, and if I could (as Reagan preferred) Panama too.
