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.

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 in his official military role of Pipe.
