Finally, when we consider that “abstinence only” is failing in the United States with a population that is much more educated and exposed to facts in regard AIDS and other STD’s, the utter failure of this program in less educated societies staggers the imagination; how many people have and will die because of Bush’s reliance on religion rather than science in fighting the AIDS epidemic?

I believe these numbers will reach into the millions, possibly surpassing the death-count of the Jews during Hitler’s Holocaust – and no amount of propaganda or spin will change those numbers.

As it pertains specifically to the global fight against AIDS, Bush has truly earned his Russian Nickname as “The Master of Disaster.”
