According to popular history, Panama wasn't 'caught' between the Columbian and U.S. forces; Panama used the help of the U.S. (much to the benefit of the U.S.) to rid itself of Columbian rule, and continuing imperialistic leadership tactics. And, of course, all of this mess started with the Spanish explorers in the 15th century...but that's another story.

Cheers.
