Close your eyes. Try to visualize a nation whose people are ruled by a despot, and this tyrant is allied with none other than the U.S. government.

In your mind’s eye, you can see him arrested and forced to stand trial. Finally, conjure up an image of the man behind all this...a man named Bush.

Open your eyes. If you thought you were dreaming of Saddam and Iraq and Dubya, think again because we’re coming up on the seventeenth anniversary of another American intervention in a little place David Lee Roth likes to call Panama.
