U.S. comes l' 'an
After years of supporting a corrupt and unprincipled
regime in the Philippines under Ferdinand Marcos, the
U.S. has finally' taken the correct stance on backing, what
amounted to being ,a dictatorshp. .
The '.0 S. has been supporting the status quo in many
countries in which a brutal- -power 'has controlled all the
strings. It supported the military coup in Chile and Baby
Doc Duvalier's regime in Haiti, : has given South Africa
what amounts to a wrist slap in sanctions in response to
that country's apartheid policies and sends millions iu aid
to El. Salvador, .a country in which people routinely
disappear and which has repeatedly been told to clean up
its act.
The U.S. has sent envoys to the Philippines t� assess the
election, and instead of going with the status quo . to
protest business and military interests as it usually sedans
to do, has backed Corazon Aquino, the challenger to
Marcos, acting upon the tales of injustices and fraud
accompanyingOf course. there are many pragmatic reason
returningrepresentatives.
p g „ , for Reagan
to call for.Marcos to step down. -
There are two massive U.;S, militarybases (naval and air
force) in the Phillipines arid protecting those 'investments,
in U.S, military strategy is the States' first.priority.
There is also ,a growing communist faction influencing
large areas of the island republic and which is beginning to
'alarrab: the leader of the, free world,

Chance to air spine of the reasons for thele:disaffection,
moving Marcos may remove .imajor reason to be, a com-
munist.
•
Another reason°`to support Aquino ris to support change.
For decades the U.S.. has outrightlyopposed change
• rather;than support a moderate faction. The maintenance
'of the status quo has been its major priority.
Consequently, the U.S. has seen many opportunities to
influence a region, slip away to . Leftists' supported by the
Society doctrine of revolution and , change. -
Hopefully the States will again become the, model for
struggling forces of justice to look at as ,the
example of
principled action in the world.. its indefensible support of
killers and corruption should come to an end
