Take stock on April 25, World Malaria Day: The international community has just two years to meet the United Nations's 2010 goal of providing protection and treatment to every person threatened by malaria. Can it be done?

This might be a harsh thing to say, but in some of the countries most affected by Malaria, if the population wasn't cut down by the disease, there would be even more people starving.  I don't know what's worse.  :(

It's difficult to effect any social improvements in countries run by governments that don't necessarily have their own peoples best interests at heart.
