Now Brazil hates us, too...

The BBC reports on the decision of the Brazilian government to decline an offer of US assistance for AIDS programs. Why? Because America's assistance comes with a hefty dose of "nullying, pushing, and forcing." Fundamentalist-style, of course.

From the story:

"Much [US spending on AIDS] is being channelled to programmes that advocate abstinence, rather than condom use, and cannot be used for abortions or to treat prostitutes."
