- It's tempting just to send the Marines to Panama and clean up
- the mess, but I hope the U.S. no longer must play the role of the
- world's policeman (WORLD, May 22). General Manuel Antonio Noriega
- is a slimeball who needs to be dealt with, but let it be by the
- Panamanians, while the U.S. works with its Latin neighbors on a
- joint effort of economic resistance.

- I would like to remind Noriega and his goon squads that those
- who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution
- inevitable.

- Tolerance on the part of the American and international
- communities toward drug-dealing tyrants like Noriega only
- encourages other would-be dictators. Democracy and human rights are
- more important than national sovereignty.
