Extract (Note British spelling -- the American press declined to report
this)

New York - Former US president Bill Clinton announced on Monday a plan to
provide treatment for more than 60 000 Aids-infected children in China
and nine other countries, expanding a programme already underway in
Thailand and Brazil.

The William J Clinton Foundation will donate $10m to provide
AIDS-suppressing paediatric drugs to infected children in Asia, the
Caribbean and Africa.


Interestingly, the Bush Family is very wealthy, yet I am unaware of any
substantial charitable activities and donations of that family.


The question becomes why the gift was given and why a big deal was made of
the gift. If you make a donation and then tell everyone about it your
reasons for making the gife are suspect.


Apparently you missed the part where this was carried by the European
press, and NOT the American press.

Subsequent posts have made a VERY big deal about the Bush family
"Generosity?"
