Re: "We must lead way in global fight against AIDS " (Commentary, Nov 28):
Sen. Rick Santorum wants President Bush to get credit for leading the fight against AIDS, but while he's long
on global AIDS statistics (42 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, reduced life expectancy in southern Africa, etc.),
he's short on meaningful solutions such as free condoms, ... and comprehensive sex education, rather than the Bush administration's
abstinence-only programs. Santorum says we "cannot afford to stand silent," but for programs that work against this
deadly crisis, he has nothing to say.

Note: Santorum voted against an amendment providing "funding for the prevention, treatment, and control of, and research on, global HIV/AIDS" on Sep 9, 2003.
