20 August, 2004
20 August 2004James K. Glassman, at The American Enterprise, is dismayed by the poor reception given to the U.S. at last month's AIDS conference in Bangkok. The U.S., after all, "contributes twice as much money to fight AIDS globally as the rest of the world combined, and [its] drug companies developed the medicines that stopped the progression of HIV." Instead, Glassman writes, the Bush Administration was vilified by "Europeans and Americans who think they are just as sophisticated as Europeans" for pandering to the religious Right by promoting abstinence programs. The latter, he claims, only amounts to 1/15th of the total AIDS budget, but it seems his math could use some work.
