Mazal tov, but that has nothing to do with Bush reneging on his promise by 
making a splashy announcement about increasing American contributions to the 
fight against AIDS and then not actually asking Congress for any additional 
money. He always makes these feel-good announcements to get the publicity benefit, 
then, after the press and public have turned their attention elsewhere, 
quietly forgetting all about actually requesting any of the promised money.

Here in Brazil the number of children born with inherited AIDS
decreased from about 8% to about 3% in the past few years. We
_may_ have it under control.
