I can see why people in Africa have such disdain for Bush. He has supported giving exactly how many billions to the continent for AIDS relief.

When the people who want to pull you down and take what is yours are suddenly happy with your potential leadership, it should tell you something. If you are capable of rational thought that is.

what's your point? The world hates W for the war in Iraq then like a street beggar sticks it's collective hand out and begs for US money. Despite all the antipathy toward the US, we remain the country that is first on the scene when something bad happens around the world.

How many of those billions had to go into abstinence education programs? I remember, as of a few years ago, it was nearly half. That, my friends, is absolutely idiotic.

Edit: Actually it's one-third, and it's still stupid.
