Bush on Wednesday signed into law a big expansion of U.S. efforts to fight AIDS in Africa and elsewhere, warning that defeating this scourge requires an unprecedented investment over generations. The measure, which won final congressional passage last week, calls for the United States to spend $48 billion over the next five years to help treat and prevent AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. President Bush is actually quite proud of it saying it's the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in human history and he should be. The US should be. _________________ Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ~Grandma Moses

It is important to fund the fight elsewhere; unfortunately, it is also important to fund the fight at home and, well, we don't always do that as well as we could
