You are welcome.

BTW: All the Pentagon people I speak with say it is still is a slam dunk to protect the Canal. Treaty wise and militarily.

I'll split the difference: we keep the Canal, and we should have let them keep Noriega. Any good will we received was more than lost by going in and seizing the head of state on drug charges. That little act can be used as a pretext for all kinds of mischief by many a state.

What's done is done, and I'm glad there have been no serious flare-ups, but I would typically favor Reagan's judgment over Carter's and Buckley's put together.
