At the end of 2003, UNAIDS estimated that up to 420,000 in Mali, 180,000 people in Indonesia, 150,000 in Pakistan, and 61,000 in Iran had HIV/Aids.

Key words are "up to". That means it could be 420,000 in Mali or 42,000 or 4,200. Of course, since they get more money if they have more cases, well "at least 420,000" is the phrase they will probably use.

Now if we gave money according to which country had the biggest decline in Aids, well....

"A report released by the Seattle-based think tank, the National Bureau of Asian Research, says "if leaders continue to ignore the problem, Aids could debilitate or even destabilise some of these societies by killing large numbers of people in the 15 to 49-year age group." "

Sounds like a plan!

One word: GOOD!

Aids could debilitate or even destabilise some of these societies by killing large numbers of people in the 15 to 49-year age group."

I bet it can these are their prime suicide bombers.

An important take home message for all Muslim nations is that real behaviours on the streets are sometimes in marked contrast to the expected behaviours of good Muslims and that is something that leaders in these countries must deal with," Kelly told AFP.

"What is especially troubling to behold is the reluctance to admit that Muslims engage in exactly those same dangerous behaviours that support the transmission and spread of HIV/Aids elsewhere," it said, blaming "deeply rooted cultural and religious attitudes".

They psychically can't admit that the separation of the sexes which their religion requires leads to un-Islamic sexual activity.

Aids could debilitate or even destabilise some of these [Islamic] societies by killing large numbers of people in the 15 to 49-year age group.

That targets the age group from which the terrorists come from. I understand that many of the terrorists are rabid homosexuals.

Kelly proposed "sweeping legal changes" to reduce the social stigma associated with the disease and protect the Aids sufferers in Muslim nations "to ensure them medical treatment, employment and discourage suicide".

Is it possible that people really believe that changes in the law then reflect in social stigma? Ludicrous!
