Dear Nicholas Kristof...

I have news for you. The White House's African AIDS policy is not "well-meaning," it was never well-meaning, it never will be, and I can't believe you don't know that. Or do you just not have the guts to say it?

The White House's "Just so 'no'" policy for Africa is a cruel exploitation of millions of men, women, and children in order to thrill the kill-a-judge-for-Terri crowd who are bound and determined that this will be a fundamentalist Christian nation, no matter what. At the same time, it dispenses with a whole lot of dark-skinned people, so the White House knows there will be few tears cried over it.

Well-meaning, my ass.
