Once again, the Administration shows more interest in principal rather than principle. "Women's rights in places like Afghanistan are important to me, as long as they don't offend the right wing of my party" appears to be the message here. I'm reminded of the late Senator Tsongas' line in the primaries in 1992, when he called Bill Clinton a "pander bear." In another example of pandering, the textbook publishing industry is apparently cowed by Texas conservatives.
The Administration also appears conflicted about business ethics; at the same time Mr. Bush is railing against corporate fraud, the EPA has cut funds to continue Superfund cleanup and abandoned one of its guiding principles: "polluter pays." The idea was that the industries which created the mess should be taxed to clean it up; after the "Republican revolution" in 1995, those taxes were discontinued.
