Malarkey.

It's easy to google up the truth, so don't even bother lying. And the
word you're groping for isn't spelled "seeded" you retard.

You must be one o' them droolin' Lefty Loonies. For your edification:

The Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, November 18, 1903:

ARTICLE I - The United States guarantees and will maintain the
independence of the Republic of Panama.

ARTICLE II - The Republic of Panama grants to the United States in
perpetuity the use, occupation and control of a zone of land and land
under water for the construction maintenance, operation, sanitation and
protection of said Canal of the width of ten miles extending to the
distance of five miles on each side of the center line of the route of
the Canal to be constructed; the said zone beginning in the Caribbean
Sea three marine miles from mean low water mark and extending to and
across the Isthmus of Panama into the Pacific ocean to a distance of
three marine miles from mean low water mark with the proviso that the
cities of Panama and Colon and the harbors adjacent to said cities,
which are included within the boundaries of the zone above described,
shall not be included within this grant.
