‘Fighting Aids was supposed to show George Bush’s softer side. “Seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many,” he said in his State of the Union address in January.

He has since reconsidered, deciding instead to offer a few more opportunities to the few. First he handed the top job of his global Aids initiative to a Big Pharma boss, then he broke his $3-billion promise of Aids relief. And now there are concerns that he may sabotage a plan to send cheap drugs to countries ravaged by Aids.’
