According to Anthony Browne, health editor of the Observer, and a trustee of Population Concern, "there are many reasons to despise George Dubbya Bush. But as he tries to joke away his global calumny during meetings in London and in Genoa (at the G8 summit), little is heard of what can only be called his most pernicious international act. On his first day in office, he introduced a policy that is promoting Aids, encouraging maternal deaths, and increasing poverty among the world's most vulnerable people."
