Good job, Dubya! (Finally!)

I don't say this very often, so get ready: Kudos to George W. Bush for trying to fight AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis in Africa!

And shame on the 7 backwards, stone-aged GOP senators who are blocking his legislation.

This kind of generosity is a perfect example of what Obama calls "promoting dignity" around the world, which in turn engenders goodwill toward the United States. It's time we Americans realize that actions like fighting AIDS, eradicating poverty, and promoting the rights and education of women, all lead to a more peaceful world, and smaller breeding grounds for terror. Butter can be a better weapon than guns (and butter is darn cheaper, too!)
