Panama, North Korea, The Canal and America

Panama Seizes North Korean Ship Carrying Weapons of War


Hardly wishing to sound like an apologist for North Korea, what gives Panama the right to stop this ship? It is well known the Panamanian government is a puppet to American interests. Reagan for all intents and purposes undid Carter's Canal negotiations and GHW Bush killed thousands there to insure American hegemony.

If Egypt under Morsi seized a Bahraini or Qatari ship bearing weapons en route to a NATO country would that be okay? I think not.

Is it just might makes right? Is that the rule on the high seas?

Everyone wants to see the Kim Dynasty fall...I refuse to say Communist. This has just provided them with more propaganda and if the forced landing of Morales plane wasn't enough, this is yet another episode of Imperial muscle-flexing. Anyone can take the moral high ground when comparing themselves to someone worse but it doesn't mean they're somehow good or right.
