    During my last deployment to Iraq 2012-2013, I heard one thing over and over from the Iraqis I worked with: “When we asked you to leave, we didn’t think you’d really do it!” Usually followed by, “We’re not really ready yet!”

    Putin opined in Pravda the other day: Well, you see, it’s much easier to tell another country’s leaders what to do and when to do it (and pay YOU for the privilege of telling them) if you “own” that country.

    swr: my son’s been in Panama and had a girlfriend there who’s father hated Noriega, but when the U.S. took over, he lost EVERYTHING he owned because he wasn’t favored by “our” regime. No, not all Panamanians love America. The same is true for his contacts with the people he met in Iraq (three tours). The folks on “our side”, making profits from our invasions, don’t actually represent a majority, most anywhere we’ve stepped in.

    Panama DOES court Americans to come down, and bring their money. Dual residence is easy, as is dual citizenship, if you can pay for it.

    To the toon and “interests” of the “who’s back yard issue”:

    Distance Moscow to Kiev; 470 miles

    Distance D.C. to Baghdad: 6,147 miles

    How many Iraqis have English as their “first” language, how many Ukrainians have Russian as their “First” language??

    Robert: the reason for our replacing the government in Panama was to guarantee OUR actual control over the canal. You also might want to review the names Diem, Ky, etc about that U.S. not “administering” regimes, in a LOT of places, and it’s often our corporations rather than our government. Notable going back to 1923 for a little history was the fact that Mobil Oil essentially “created” the regime in Saudi Arabia…
