Malaria: A Bright Spot on Bush's Legacy?

Many American are understandably dismayed with former President George W. Bush's legacy; First he had the United States involved in a costly war with Iraq , which has cost many hundreds of billions of dollars, Hundreds of Iraqis and five thousand American troops dead, and it did great harm to the country's image abroad. Furthermore, he poor steward of the economy allowing the casino that was Wall Street and he allowed the U.S. to carve up a huge debt. However there is one bright spot that even his most vehement critics cannot deny: the fight against malaria. malaria, a deadly Mosquito-born disease, kills a million people a year- mainly little children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Responding to this health-crisis then President George W. Bush launched the The President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) in 2005, which has benefited nearly 2 million african children from Angola to Tanzania. The initiative has put emphasis on handing out bed nets, insecticide, treatments to pregnant women and little children. Why not apply Bush's initiative on a more global scale? Why not try to venture into dangerous hotspots, like the Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan, and hand out disease preventative medications and supporting infrastructure? Why not partner with governments far-and-wide to bring relative prosperity and decency to their countrymen?
