Though I see many of President Bush's policies negatively, he has had one great success. It is a success that cause rejoicing in heaven and on Earth. President Bush has committed a huge amount of American support to fighting AIDS, malaria, and other disease in Africa. His advocacy has literally saved the lives of millions of people. He has gone against callous conservatives within his own party to do so, and it is an achievement less remarked upon but more significant, in my opinion, than the failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. It brings tears to my eyes to think of the hope that millions of children now have that they didn't before.
In large part, much of the Bush presidency was a missed opportunity. In Africa he made the most of his ideals, and history will credit him. I salute him.
