Under the auspices of the "Red Menace" and to protect US business and defense interests, the United States occupies a weaker country and murders thier citizens. American citizens, know in Panama as "zonians" because of their living status in the canal zone began firing on the Panamanian students  as they attempted to raise their flag over a school in Panama. The US military was brought in. In the end, 22 Panamanians were killed and 4 US troops. http://www.maestravida.com/january9/january9.html
