Those who thought Mr. Bush's AIDS initiative was a political ploy, to be dropped at a convenient moment, didn't take into account the support for Africa within the American church community. Nearly every church and Christian organization in the country has a special African fund, sends volunteers to war-torn African countries, or in other ways sends aid to Africans.

This is very interesting. Of course, the liberal Christian groups consider themselves the only do-gooders in the world, so this may come as a shock to them.
