Looks like science has AIDS "on the ropes".

For a long time some very  hateful people have been crowing about how AIDS was their gods attack on gay people, ignoring the fact many straight people get it too.



Not all people who believe in a god acted this way, of course. As to the ones who did I wonder how they'll react when what they believed was an example of their gods will gets clobbered by human science.

AIDS has actually been on the ropes for a long time. HIV is very manageable now, no longer the death sentence it was in the 80s. I invested in the company that makes (one of) the HIV prophylaxis drugs years ago (my investment never paid off, but that's irrelevant).

Hopefully your payment comes in the form of good karma.

Well I don't regret the little bit of money I lost, then.

One of the noblest things George W. Bush ever did was dedicate $2 billion to fighting the AIDS pandemic in Africa.
Thousands of lives were saved by the medications this money provided, and I don't think I have ever seen a single liberal give him any credit for it.
Darn few conservatives, for that matter.  He said he did it because "it was the right thing to do."

In the wake of where we are, I practically love W.  At the very least, he is Presidential.  And when he held the office, he strove to be Presidential.

He's also a fundamentally decent and kind human being.

Tell that to the hundred thousand or more iraquis that were  killed in his false flag invasion and occupation of iraq which was meant from day into put its oil under US control. And their families too.

Not to mention the thiusands of americans killed and maimed in his national scale act of armed robbery and mass murder.

Itcs been revealed that W meant from day one to come up with a pretense to invade Iraq and out the country's oil under US control,  911 was just the excuse.

Plus we flushed away trillions in that war that could have rebuilt our infrastructure,  given us national healthcare,  etc.

Standard left wing talking points.
Saddam signed eleven UN Resolutions when he pulled out of Kuwait in 1991, the violation of which would be considered justification for a renewal of hostilities.  He then proceeded to violate ALL of them, one after the other, repeatedly, for twelve years.
The war may not have been well fought, but few conflicts in history have been more legally and morally justifiable.
But, of course, your political hatred of all things Republican will blind you to that forever.

He did do a lot of good, that's for sure.

But his lack of immediate action on 9/11 still makes me angry.

THIS small liberal did and still does, indy. he understood that it's a GLOBAL problem.
