Why did many Latin Americans, as well as some people in the U.S., object to the way Roosevelt acquired the Panama Canal Zone?

They thought the canal was unimportant and that Roosevelt was wasting money.
They thought that engineering problems and tropical diseases would make the canal impossible to build.
They thought Roosevelt had violated the rights of Colombia.
They thought America should spend its money on weapons for World War I.
