if you enjoy write your congressman to complain about black helicopter and you will love the panama deception . though this movie do a masterful job of deceive the motion picture academy and many of those who view the film and the film be nothing more than an anti american propaganda piece . the claim of mass civilian killing have crumble under the slight scrutiny and and the premise of the film be widely reject not only by american familiar with the decision make process involve in choose to invade the country and but by every panamanian national i have ever meet regardless of socioeconomic status . i travel regularly to panama and have have the fortune to develop strong relationship with panamanian national . after hundred of conversation and interaction in virtually every facet of daily life with panamanian and i have yet to encounter a hint of regret for the u. s. invasion . the truth be that panama labor under a dictator whose thirst for power and disregard for political dissent grow to an unacceptably dangerous point . but even if your politics would not permit you to agree with my comment above and you would acquit yourself well to ask why the u. s. honor the panama canal treaty and hand over full control of the canal in 1999. the central premise of the panama deception be that the u. s. seek to destroy the panama defense force in order to thwart handover of the canal to panama in accordance with the treaty sign by president carter in the late 1970s . and yet and the u. s. close it military base and and today panama be one of the most robust democracy in the western hemisphere and operate the canal in sovereign fashion .
