The American Military Action in Panama

It is heartening to discover that our policy-makers have yielded to popular opinion in matters of foreign policy. The invasion of the sovereign nation of Panama to oust a dictator who stands accused of being an all around bad guy is an indication that vigilante justice still lives. This could be the beginning of an encouraging trend whereby protection under the law is denied anyone suspected or accused of wrongdoing.

This new approach will considerably aid in the declared war on drugs because we can take out anybody who probably deals in drugs without the lengthy and expensive inconvenience of allowing them their day in court to confront their accusers.
