George W.Bush initiative devoted about 0.0002 of USA GDP in recognition of dignity of Sub-Saharan people.
This is by far more than any other President. His long-term commitment was real., although he failed to inform his people about this.
Much more effort is needed and more importantly US citizens should know, that their help was working. In Botswana 96% children of HIV-positive mothers are born HIV free. Partially because of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. There is no need for HIV-positive children to be born. In this month US promised $4b for this fund for years 2011-2013. We will, if they can deliver.
It is crucial for USA to maintain or increase founding for evidence-based and cost-effective programs and flame wars don't help this at all.
