The number of Bahais in Panamna is inconsistently listed as 2% but not mentioned in the pie chart with several smaller faiths, and it would be behind the one listed as third at 1.5%. I suspect the number should be two-tenths of a percent.

The article on the US invasion of Panama claims that most Panamanians supported the invasion. It cites a HRW report and an academic text. I haven't yet read the text, but I looked at the HRW report and couldn't find anything in it backing up the claim. I highly doubt Panamanians supported the invasion, as it levelled neighbourhouds, displaced twenty thousand, and likely killed thousands.

Here's a World Bank article that paints a much more accurate picture of Panamanian sentiment regarding the invasion: https://theworld.org/stories/2023/12/20/panamanians-remember-1989-us-invasion-and-continue-demand-justice-and Theodore.shouse ( talk) 02:05, 18 April 2024 (UTC) reply
