1. A lot of funding for Botswana's aids treatment

is coming from many sources outside of Botswana, including much from the US. The Gates Foundation, The World Bank, the US CDC, and many other governments and organizations have helped make this possible. The government of Botswana should be credited for allowing the needed treatment and resources to reach those who need them, and being proactive in allocating funds unlike some other African nations, without massive outside help this wouldn't have been possible..hell, as much as it pains me, even the G. W. administration played a significant roll in this success..Hopefully this success will rub off on other African nations plagued with this disease, but alas so much of Africa is controlled by warlords and others who don't care about the people, a lot more will continue to die before it gets better..
