William H. Frist said "The devastating impact of the crisis can be seen most clearly in seven African countries, including Malawi and Mozambique, where babies born in 2002 are not expected to live past 40 years because of the prevalence of HIV. Without going into details of the causes, that dramatic impact demands, for a moral reason, a strong international response. I am proud that the United States is leading that moral response. This crisis is one of the great moral, humanitarian public health crises of our times. We need to address that." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
