No, I do not think Big Stick is right.
The U.S. has a whole history with Latin America that was a lot less than 200 years ago. I'd argue that many outside of the U.S believe this policy isn't a thing of the past.
>French and Spanish sold them out
I don't find the suggestion that those that were subjugated needed rights granted to them by outside groups, including those that colonized them to begin with.
Again, I'm in agreement that this is wrong, but I also believe that "Rules for thee but not for me" is not a very productive type of diplomacy either.
