How exactly would they be able to do that and sustain it?
The Panama Canal doesn't stop trade to the U.S. Japanese goods, etc. would be rerouted, some of it around and some overland. Second, if it came to war, we would be in the position to take the canal if we needed to. Blowing the canal locks would hurt Europe and other Asian countries more than it would us. But we own the high seas.

I have a relative who worked for the State Dept. on the transfer of the Panama Canal. When I brought this subject up I was told that Carter had very little to do with it. Seems the transfer was in the works long before Jimmy took his place in the oval office.

he was/is a dedicated communist advancing world socialism, and has been internationally recognized as such by the socialist international, under the guise of the "Nobel Peace Prize Committee"
the reason he is so successful is that everyone mistakes him for an idiot and believes he will 'sin no more', as a result you end up with jimmuh down in venezuela making sure that Chavez gets through his sham referendum unscathed. it worked!
