re: #12 cliffster

I almost can’t believe I’m reading this. AIDS epidemic is killing Africans to the tune of 50% of the population in some places. US ships AIDS treatment to millions in Africa. US is bad. Typical.

You should try to look at the whole picture — yes, the Bush administration contributed billions of dollars to African countries for AIDS medication.

But they tied this money to a prohibition on birth control, with an ill-advised “abstinence” program that came straight from the religious far right.
