And the audience of News from Neptune (7pm Fridays on UPTV channel
6/99) heard David Green anticipate Patrick Cockburn's analysis.<br>
<br>
It's hard not to see the credence lent to this matter as resulting
from the fell influence of identity politics. The Bush
administration remember had Laura Bush in one of her few public
appearances say that the war in Afghanistan was necessary because of
the Taliban's crimes against women. <br>
<br>
As the late Christopher Lasch (<i>The Culture of Narcissism</i>,
1979) said wonderfully, "Identity politics has come to serve as a
substitute for religion - or at least for the feeling of
self-righteousness that is so commonly confused with religion."

<div>Patrick Cockburn gives both the realities of war and the
nature of war propaganda the seriousness that they deserve. It
was particularly irresponsible of Amy Goodman and her editors
to report the allegations of rape/viagra as if they were
facts.</div>
