Short Cuts (X)

More shortcuts (a few days later, though)...

1. Pretty good news last week! Bill Clinton (well, his foundation) has reached to an important agreement with some indian chemical firms to reduce the price for second line AIDS treatment in developing countries. Here you can find three interesting articles analyzing the impact of AIDS in developing countries. My question is... Why couldn't WHO or UNAIDS reach to this agreement before? My answer is... doing business with ex presidents from the US you get much more public awareness (signalling theory!)

2. A couple of friends flied last sunday to Zimbabwe, Tod Moss from CDG talks here about what to do in the country.

3. Why meddling children in the Palestinian cause with rage and fury? This footage, from Hamas tv station and addressed to infants, makes me really sad. Certainly, promoting these mental models is not the best way to enhance the appearance of individuals looking for peaceful solutions to the disastrous situation in the region. Instead of that, maybe they should teach the historical pact subscribed past week to bring peace back to Northern Ireland.
