> According to a CBS News poll, 92% of Panamanian adults supported the invasion

In the cited Wikipedia article, most of the descriptions of Panamanian reactions are negative. It also says CBS polled 158 people ... and that 20,000 people were displaced, etc. I don't put much stock in Wikipedia; my point is that citing only that poll seems like cherry-picking.

People don't like armed soldiers threatening them, especially from other countries, especially killing their own people.

> without killing too many people

Killing a few people is fine, then - how many? Might makes right.
