Well, I/m unsure that Dope has a really good idea of what we've done in Latin America.

And elsewhere. But he's not entirely to blame. My roommate one year in the grad dorm was a Latin American Studies major. I had no idea that we deposed the duly elected leader of Chile (Allende) and installed a ruthless despot (Pinochet). Because Allende was talking to Castro (note: oversimplified, but that is mostly it).

As you say, the Noriega affair was one of the few times our meddling yielded a positive outcome.
