One of the United States’ biggest problems is with interfering in other nations business. The United States has intervened with many countries when they were in trouble. Such countries as Panama, Vietnam and Iraq have all been messed up by the United States. The United States gets greedy some times and waits to help a country only after it gets what it wanted. The only time the United States helps a country is if it will help themselves in the long run, it seems clear that with Panama, the United States had a few purposes to do that. Here are a few examples.
In 1985 when Torrijos, who was the dictator of Panama, died that took care of one of the United States’ problems, but it made another (Millett n. pg.). Manuel Noriega, a drug trafficking gangster, took over and was the new dictator. Some people would wonder how a person involved in drug trafficking was the leader of a country. That was easy for him, the United States did not want to stop him. In 1986 the United States praised him for his anti-drug trafficking policy and his version of a democracy (Zmag n. pg.). Eventually the United States had to do something to take care
. . .
This did make the people of Panama hate Noriega a lot more for it.
Panama’s economy has gotten better for the middle and upper class and the United States and Panama still have relations with each other.
The media never showed how bad the human rights in Panama were until the United States invaded (Zmag n. The government never showed how cruel of a leader Noriega was until they did not need him, when he was indicted in 1988, all but one of the charges was before 84 (Zmag n. The troops killed hundreds of innocent civilians and caused two billion dollars in damage. It would probably be best to keep the forces over there in case the United States runs into trouble with any Central American nations or if Panama needs some extra help for some reason.
