Priorities

"I'm enraged by the behaviour of the rich powers...how much more grievous - by their neglect - they have made the situation in Africa...we can find over $200bn to fight a war on terrorism, but we can't find the money...to provide the anti-retroviral treatment for all those who need such treatment in Africa!"
-- Stephen Lewis, UN secretary-general's special envoy on HIV/Aids
