This is an article in the current March 2007 Military History Magazine. Written by John Tierney Jr.

The question he asked was 'Can a Popular Inurgency Be Defeated?' His answer in short was Yes. His article focuses on the efforts of Col Edward Lansdale USAF (former OSS) and Ramon Magsaysay Philipine Defense Minister to defeat the 'Huk' rebellion.

I couldn't find a web link but the Mag can be found on newstands. It was a good read and another example of what can work.

HistoryNet.com only links you to the website of the magazine not the article.
