	Bring Back the Laxalt Doctrine -- Policy Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Laxalt, in close consultation with Reagan, engineered the abdication of Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, averting a possibly bloody civil war, and facilitating the return of the Philippines to democracy.
		While the Laxalt Doctrine is no more a panacea than "human rights" groups’ calls for prosecution über alles, it is superior for the United States both practically and morally, and it offers the more immediate prospect of relief for the citizens of the disagreeable regimes suffering under possibly intolerable conditions.
		Nonetheless, the Laxalt Doctrine is a quintessentially American response to an imperfect world filled with irritatingly imperfect humans, and its revival in a new administration would be a most welcome development.
