Bush has given more aid than any other US president Posted: 9 months ago by 2manyusernames
When President Bush came to power in 2001, the US spent $1.4bn a year on humanitarian and development aid in Africa. By 2006, the figure had quadrupled to $5.6bn a year. And it is likely to get bigger. The centrepiece of Mr Bush's aid to Africa is the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar), a five-year, $15bn Aids prevention and treatment program. His most recent budget proposes doubling the funding to $30bn over the next five years.

Why I hate Bush but love Americans Posted: 1 year ago by techtonix
Here in Sweden, the debate rages on about whether it is possible to hate President Bush while loving America given that 50.7 per cent of Americans re-elected him. But when I see images of the brave men, women and children who courageously stand up for the rights of all those whose rights have been trampled under iron boots of Bush's neocon army, my faith in Americans is restored.
