The Left on AIDS in Africa

"Indeed, Green's book persuasively argues for making faith-based organizations (FBOs) central to the worldwide assault on HIV/AIDS. Green argues that Western health agencies' largely antagonistic attitude toward religious organizations is counterproductive, particularly in areas in which religious organizations have long been the most influential institutions around. If FBOs oppose condom distributions, let them do what they do (and have done) best: Teach and inspire abstinence and partner fidelity and provide aid and comfort to those who didn't follow those practices and have become afflicted, Green contends."

Duh?
