No, he&#8217;s referring to Panama.<\/p>\n<p>In a column in USA Today Wickham cautions that US leaders who  have denounced Russian actions in Crimea and taken the &#8220;moral high  ground&#8221; should look closely at their own country&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>In 1903 the nation of Panama was carved out of Colombia after  the Colombian government rejected a treaty that would have allowed the  US to build a canal linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.<\/p>\n<p>The US fostered an uprising in the province of Panama and  sent warships to prevent Colombian re-enforcements from arriving,  Wickham writes. Once the independent state of Panama was established,  its government quickly approved the canal treaty that Colombia wouldn&#8217;t  sign.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Panama is in the geopolitical backyard of the USA,&#8221; Wickham  writes. &#8220;It&#8217;s inside America&#8217;s sphere of influence, just as Crimea is  inside Russia&#8217;s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t say this to justify the imperialistic behavior of  either superpower, but rather to suggest that it&#8217;s nothing new. Nor  should it be unexpected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h1>Wickham: U.S., like Russia, exercises hegemony<\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"lead-in\">While we bash Putin on Ukraine, U.S. once took similar liberties with Panama.<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a story that should sound familiar to you.<\/p>\n<p>A small,  militarily weak country is racked by internal dissent after its  government rejects a treaty with a foreign power. Secretly encouraged by  a nearby superpower, a rebellious faction in this troubled country  seizes a chunk of land and declares its independence. The superpower  quickly dispatches a military force to the breakaway territory to ensure  the success of this secession.<\/p>\n<p>If you think I&#8217;m talking about the events that are playing out in Ukraine, the Eastern European country that&#8217;s nestled against the southwestern edge of Russia, you&#8217;re wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, Russian President Vladimir Putin dispatched thousands of troopsinto  the Crimea region of Ukraine as it declared its independence and asked  to be annexed into Russia. That action followed bloody street  demonstrations that forced Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine&#8217;s democratically elected president, to flee the country after he rejected a trade pactwith  the European Union. Yanukovych, whose opulent lifestyle and roguish  rule stained his presidency, favored closer economic ties with Russia.  Not surprisingly, the unelected government that replaced Yanukovych signed the agreement with the European Union on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m talking about the series of events that brought about the creation of Panama in 1903. Back then, Panama was a province of the nation of Colombia. When the Colombian government rejected a treaty that would have allowed the United States to build a canal  across its territory to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, a plot  was hatched to make Panama an independent nation.<\/p>\n<p>The United States, then an emerging superpower, sent warships into the region to stop Colombia from reinforcing its beleaguered  troops in its Panama province. The new nation responded by quickly  giving America the treaty it sought. While the U.S. didn&#8217;t annex Panama, it did exercise virtual sovereignty over it for 97 years.<\/p>\n<p>Panama  is in the geopolitical backyard of the USA. It&#8217;s inside America&#8217;s  sphere of influence, just as Crimea is inside Russia&#8217;s. I don&#8217;t say this  to justify the imperialistic behavior of either superpower, but rather  to suggest that it&#8217;s nothing new. Nor should it be unexpected.<\/p>\n<p>Over  the past century, every time one superpower acted badly in its sphere  of influence, the other bashed its conduct. When Russia created the  Soviet Union through the military conquest and political subjugation of  Eastern Europe, the U.S. and its allies bemoaned its totalitarianism.<\/p>\n<p>At  the same time, the U.S. has stretched its sphere of influence \u2013 getting  involved in the affairs of nations in the American hemisphere from Mexico to Argentina.  Sometimes,  U.S. presidents used military force, and other times they  employed covert actions to exercise control over the affairs of  countries in its backyard.<\/p>\n<p>In agreeing to annex Crimea, Putin said he acted to keep NATO, the military wing of the European Union, out of  Russia&#8217;s backyard. &#8220;We are against having (NATO) &#8230;  behaving as the  master of the house outside our fence, next to our home or on our  historical territory,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In 1912, President William Howard  Taft made a similar claim of U.S. dominance in America&#8217;s backyard. &#8220;The  day is not far distant when the Stars and Stripes at three equidistant  points will mark our territory: one at the North Pole, another at the  Panama Canal and the third at the South Pole. The whole hemisphere will  be ours in fact as, by virtue of our superiority of race, it already is  ours morally,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In  truth, there is little to suggest that the U.S. today is any more  willing to give up its claim to hegemony over its backyard than Russia  is now exercising over its neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>And as long as this is so, neither country can take the moral high ground on this issue.<\/p>\n<p><em>DeWayne  Wickham, dean of Morgan State University&#8217;s School of Global Journalism  and Communication, writes on Tuesdays for USA
