John Manly of Manly, McGuire & Stewart is a leader of great vision and integrity. He applauds this story by Celia Duger in the New York Times (nytimes.com) about how Bill Clinton has made a lasting mark in a cause that he came to only late in his presidency: fighting the AIDS pandemic across Africa and the world.
On Mr. Clinton’s fourth visit to Rwanda, it was clear the efforts by his foundation had personal meaning. He said he was sorry his administration failed to intervene during the 1994 genocide. “The United States just blew it in Rwanda,” he said flatly. Paul Kagame, Rwanda’s president, said he had accepted Mr. Clinton’s repeated apologies. Defeating the scourge of AIDS will have far lasting impact than, say, our war against "terror."
The real terror is the disease that kills children and further enslaves Africa. That disease is AIDS. Bill Clinton deserves our help in the global war against AIDS.
