25 Years Ago: The U.S. Invades Panama | Mickey Z.
Mickey Z. -- World News Trust
Dec. 2, 2014
“America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests.”
- Henry Kissinger
Close your eyes. Try to visualize a nation whose people are ruled by a despot, and this tyrant is allied with none other than the U.S. government.
Keep your eyes closed and now imagine that same autocrat falling out of favor with his American patrons. Picture him demonized in the press. Envision his country invaded. In your mind’s eye, you can see him arrested and forced to stand trial.
Finally, conjure up an image of the man behind all this -- a man named Bush.
Open your eyes. If you thought you were dreaming of Saddam and Iraq and Dubya, think again because we’re coming up on the 25th anniversary of another U.S. intervention in a little place David Lee Roth likes to call Panama.
