re: #160 reine.de.tout

The bottom line:

The Bush administration committed to and provided AIDS medication, as well as abstinence education in Africa.

Why does the full burden of this effort fall on the U.S.?

Are there not nations with more liberal governments who could have stepped up to the plate and decided well, if the U.S is going to provide the most costly item, the medications, WE then will provide the birth control inforamation and condoms?

Why does the African AIDS epidemic seem to be viewed as strictly a responsibility of the U.S.?

Excellent point.
