Operation Just Cause was not the capture of a man; it was the genocide of a country On December 20 of 1989‚ 26‚000 U.S. troops invaded Panama in ‘‘Operation Just Cause’’ to expel and capture the country’s strong man‚ the former general Manuel Antonio Noriega and destroy his military.

JUST TAKE AWAY THEIR GUNS THE PRESIDENT WANTS STILL tougher gun control legislation and thinks it will work. The public supports more gun control laws but suspects they won’t work. The public is right. Legal restraints on the lawful purchase of guns will have little effect on the illegal use of guns. There are some 200 million guns in private ownership‚ about one-third of them handguns. Only about 2 percent of the latter are employed to commit crimes. It would take a Draconian‚ and politically
