What is your opinion on the U.S control over the Panama Canal?

Question

i really need your input people

Answer 1

i think let it be as normal,otherwise there w'd be some disputes on it.

Answer 2

Since we ceded control of the Canal under the Carter Administration; the question itself is like closing the barn door after all the cows have gotten out.

Giving away the canal was supposed to bolster US/South American relations, instead the Chinese are running the Canal.

I notice people are ready to return to Carter's naive policies under the name of Obama.

Answer 3

the US hasn't controled the canal since the 70s.

By the way, china owns the shipping ports on both sides of the canal, so china actually "owns" it.

Answer 4

The Panama Canal has, for the most part, outlived its necessity for the US.  Transcontinental transport of goods via train, truck or plane has become faster and cheaper than by boat.

Answer 5

i think the US has not controled the canal .
