Slick Willy: AIDS trumps terror
I d’no where this goes

It's in the right place...
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Tuesday AIDS should be considered a security issue, with the disease affecting more people in the world than terrorism. "We should continue to fight terror, but we have to realize that the AIDS issue is also a security issue," Clinton told reporters after talks with Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik in Oslo. "It’s a humanitarian issue, but it’s a security issue," he said, warning AIDS fueled poverty and desperation.
I don’t see you encouraging the ways that really work.
Clinton was in Norway to seek support for a campaign against AIDS. An estimated 42 million people worldwide suffer from HIV or AIDS, most of them in Africa. Asked whether AIDS was a bigger threat to the world than terrorism, Clinton said: "Right now (AIDS) affects more people, but I wouldn’t say that. What I think is that we can’t think about one to the exclusion of the other."
"Oh, I tried, but there was just enough terrorism to keep it in my mind."
Clinton’s foundation has been heading work to slash the cost of AIDS treatment in African and Caribbean nations.
