- <p> Eight months after Operation Just Cause sent U.S. troops
- into Panama to overthrow General Manuel Noriega, the government
- of President Guillermo Endara seemed to be on the verge of
- imploding. A wave of murders, muggings and robberies spread
- through Panama City last week, while the quibbling among Endara
- and his two Vice Presidents reached new levels.
- </p>
- <p> State Department officials are concerned about the fate of
- the government, but right now the Bush Administration would
- like Panama's leaders to stop their squabbling and take aim at
- such pressing problems as unemployment. During the Noriega
- crisis, analysts said toppling the dictator would be easy
- compared with creating a stable government. Now they are seeing
- how right they were.
