,,, what’s the problem with coveting a canal when you can go one better than coveting and build islands in the South China Sea?
I’ll just bet it does!
Amazing how 50 years later, Jimmy Carter is still hurting America.
I wonder what evils from Joe Biden the nation will still experience in the year 2075?
The US created the country called Panama.
Lie!
Built by the United States of America. Panama was also our creation.
Exhibit A in why we can’t be isolationist like some Freepers believe
Because they have thier tentacles in place, F them, take it
If the Panama Canal is so important to the U.S. for military and commercial purposes, then the Canal Zone should have been annexed as a state.
The Monroe Doctrine is a foreign policy position of the United States that opposes European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere. It was articulated by President James Monroe in his annual address to Congress on December 2, 1823.
The doctrine’s main concepts are:
Non-intervention: The United States would not interfere in the political affairs of Europe.
Non-colonization: The United States would not tolerate further colonization of Latin America by European powers.
Separate spheres of influence: The Americas and Europe would have separate spheres of influence.
The Monroe Doctrine became a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy in Latin America. Many Latin Americans supported the doctrine, including Colombian Vice President Francisco de Paula Santander, Simón Bolívar, Chile, and Argentina.
The Panama Canal is a great creation of the people of Panama
That’s what all the Zonians were saying when Carter made the worst deal in history. Of course, the Zonians also took pride in being American citizens who had never spent a single day in the US - sometimes for 4 generations.
“ , then the Canal Zone should have been annexed as a state.”
It should have been .
Jimmy Carter made a horrific decision to give it up
Some Democrat Presidents do have their limits. At least, Jimmuh can make the argument that he did not buy Haiti with the buck he received for the canal, which is tantamount to buying a six pack of cancer, so he could have a 51st state with two new dog cuisine friendly Democrat senators
And many Americans and others lost lives doing so.

Died in an American prison.
Oops, correction - Noreiga spent seventeen years in an American prison, a year in French prison, and then went to Panamanian prison, where he died.
Nonetheless, he found out the hard way about crossing the USA.
