Bush AIDS efforts shine

In much of the world, President Bush's foreign policy will be remembered for the Iraq war. But in these emerald hills in central Africa, his legacy looks brighter.

As bright as the face of 19-year-old Jeanne Aribatuka, who was diagnosed with HIV while she was pregnant with her only child.

She started taking anti-retroviral drugs nine months ago and has gained 7 pounds. Her almond eyes dance when she says it.

Nearly 50,000 Rwandan HIV patients now receive the lifesaving drugs – up from 800 four years ago – thanks largely to a $15 billion global anti-AIDS plan that Bush launched in 2003. It's one of his most widely praised foreign policy initiatives and, along with a major anti-malaria plan, forms the centerpiece of a dramatic increase in U.S. aid to Africa during his presidency.
