How has Panama changed since the US left?

The canal is more efficient, and actually makes monet now.\n\nThe economy has also grown, although there is much debate as to whether or not the loss of US bases has reduced this growth somewhat.

It is a new time....America has always been protected by oceans on both sides. Although there is rampant corruption and pathetic government structure to our south , Mexico has mostly been nothing more than a nuisance for it's drug trade. Canadians and Americans have had very close ties aside from an occasional policy difference. today...I think there should be greater border patrols on our north and south borders. With terrorism and it's networks pressing the envelope in finding new ways to destroy us we have no alternative but to increase our security to meet the new dangers.

Yes, not only the backbone, Americas has lost its upper chamber also. They have supported unjust war of Bush in Iraq & Afganistan, killing US Troops & innocent people of Iraq & Afganistan. They have again elected that war monger for the second term, who tells lies to justify his all wrong doings everytime. His every move risks the security of Us and its people.\nHe has already endangered the world peace. Americans are being more insecure only because of arrogant & monstrous thinking & misleading decisions of George Bush. \nAmericans have lost their mind, values & intelectuality to assess GB as the Us president.

Panama is one of the few countries - like the US - in which birth in the country automatically accords citizenship.  See\nhttp://www.multiplecitizenship.com/wscl/ws_PANAMA.html\n\nBecause you were born of American parents and you have a CRBA, you are also a US citizen.  You may live in the US just as every US citizen does, with all rights and obligations.  You are entititled to a US passport, and must use it to enter and leave the US.\n\nAlthough you were born a Panamanian citizen, under Panamanian law you are supposed to decide which citizenship you want to retain - US or Panamanian - when you turn 18.  The US, on the other hand, does not have any laws against dual citizenship.\n\nYou can ask the US Embassy in Panama City (American Citizen Services) if Panama actually enforces that law or not.  You can also ask the Panamanian Embassy in Washington.  The address and phone number are in the link I gave you above.\n\nBy the way, you should know that, as a dual national, if you ever get into trouble in either country, you will be treated exactly like every other citizen of that country.  For example, if you're arrested in Panama, the US Embassy will not be able to assist you; you are Panamanian when you're in Panama.\n\nSince you want a copy of your Panamanian birth certificate, I suggest you call or write the Panamanian Embassy in Washington. They should be able to tell you how to get it.

yes the victory of Daniel Ortega is sending signals to the world especially the USA that there is no death for leftist ideology. Marxism sans dictatorship is attracting more people in Latin America. Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil already have socialist leaders. this time Ortega, the former Marxist Sandinista revolutionary leader reformed to some extent and made truce with the church. really his victory is blow to the imperialist USA which previously supported the contra guerrillas to over throw Ortega from power. but i feel this time Ortega will compromise with the IMF and does not outburst like Chavez. the reason is obvious. Nicaragua is second poorest country but where as Venezuela is rich with Pietro dollars.even the trend in the USA also changed and people voted for centre left party , dems.

Panama!  Noriega  or "Pineapple face" as he is lovingly referred to (haha) was the dictator of Panama. He hid in the Vatican embassy (Papal nunciature as referred to in Sgt. K's article) and the US Marines played loud music and shined bright lights to get him out. \n\nWhen he as taken away in a helicopter he cried because he thought they were going to push him out.

Please give some examples of occasions when the U S A was made a scapegoat ,I can remember times when it certainly was not ,Colonel North .Cuba and the bay of pigs ,Colonel Noriega in panama, their involvement in the assassination of president Allende of Chile and his replacement by the murderous Pinochet. Allende's only sin was that he was a socialist but it was a mortal one in the eyes of the American administration.The list is a very long one I could  carry on,if there are people in the world who find fault with America perhaps America has given them good reason

Yes. Panama has made it a national priority to continue to improve their national team and to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 2010. Panama recently hired Brazilian-born Alexandre Guimaraes to coach the national team. Guimaraes coached Costa Rica to the World Cup in 2002 and 2006. He has only been on the job for less than two weeks but in an inverview after a recent training session he said he "likes what he sees" and that there are several "fundamental" issues to be resolved, and that for the most part the players are "very talented and highly motivated." Panama's team had the talent to go in 2006 and lost several games in the early qualification rounds that they easily could have (and should have) won. They placed second in the Gold Cup behind the United States. Panamanian football is getting better and better with each passing year, and this time around, with the experience and wisdom of Alexandre Guimaraes on their side Panama's chances for getting to the World Cup in 2010 are better than ever.
