Jumbo: hmmm ,lets see...
Panama re: Manuel Noriega: Yes, he actually was paid by the CIA in the 60's as an informant when he was in the army. He was not controlled by the CIA however. He obtained his power when the army ,under Omar Torrijos Herrera, seized control of the government in a coup. The United States invaded Panama because Noriega turned Panama into a Cocaine distributor into the U.S., was brutally repressing civil rights, and was secretly aligning with Fidel Castro. Panama was quickly degenerating into a failed criminal state.
Bosnia and Kosovo: OK so you are admitting it is the only the U.S. that takes the initiative in combating global atrocities. Through your words, you are stating that it was the US that was too late, and that it was none of Europe's business, even though it was going on in their back yard. Typical. Bosnia is the same festering hotspot that European complacency let start World War 1. None the less, the US was the driving force behind taking action and stopping the disgusting genocide.
Iraq: I really am skeptical of the claim that "100's of thousands of innocents were killed". Of course, US bashers take it as gospel without question. Yes, in ANY military action where the enemy uses civilian structures, collateral damage will occur. An army cannot let an enemy successfully use civilians as cover. To do so would immediately result in enemies ALWAYS using civilian structures as cover.
Afghanistan: The US eliminated a NIGHTMARE regime that executed women in a soccerfield for entertainment. The place was an unrepentant terrorist training ground. There were warlords and heroin BEFORE the US kicked out the Taliban. Now they have elections but yes heroin is still a problem. I guess expectations and work for the United States never ends huh?
