concerning Panama. Same with all other Latin American and Caribbean countries.

You've probably noticed ordinary citizens everywhere seems to know far more about US history regarding their countries than we do. What has been done in our names, and our parents' and grandparents', etc. in no way resembles what we've been taught.

Thank you for discussing your experience in Panama this week. It's real food for thought.
