The article expresses the author's frustration over U.S. foreign interventions, specifically in Panama, and the historical context surrounding these actions. The author reflects on past experiences in Central America during the 1980s, where U.S. involvement led to civilian casualties and political strife. Furthermore, the piece critiques current Democratic leadership for lacking the resolve to confront Republicans on critical issues, particularly funding for essential programs while engaging in harmful foreign aggression. The author concludes that such actions alienate citizens and foster a sense of disillusionment with their own country.
I like it better when there are fewer reasons to hate my country. Right now, there are strong reasons to be dissatisfied.
How can we love our country if the Administration drastically cuts vital programs, at the same time that it plots just plain wrong aggression towards other nations?
