Former US President Bill Clinton has brokered a deal to supply cut-price Aids drugs to developing countries.
An agreement was reached with four generic drug companies in India and South Africa to provide certain treatments at less than a third of the cost of patented versions.

Nine countries in the Caribbean, as well as Mozambique, Rwanda, South Africa and Tanzania will receive the low-cost medication.

Aids organisations have hailed the deal as a breakthrough, with the potential to save millions of lives.

5. Bush hides behind thousands of guards, Bil crowd-surfs...

OF course, our Murkan Fundy RW will decry this as "encouraging" people to "mis-behave"...

What a treasure we had in Bill Clinton! I could NEVER imagine anyone named "Bush" doing this!

2. Has the US media reported on this

I haven't seen anything about it on CNN's website for example.

3. US media only reports smears and innuedo on Clinton

They will not report anything good about the man.

4. I wish he would become President of one of those small countries...

It would be great to have him back on the international scene.
