It seems like a good thing to keep if you ask me.

After doing a google search on "panama canal ownership" I found that the US legally purchased the site and developed the canal after the French project went bankrupt.

So property rights or sovereignty of a country were not compromised as far as I can see.

amazing

That's better than anything I'd ever expect to see from the NYT.

you betcha. I didn't read it the first time it was posted because of the "flinty" title. Glad I did, now, though.
