I don't know what the number of deaths due to AIDS in Africa is, but I bet it's quite small compared to this. The number of deaths in Iraq in 3 years and from the Tsunami over the next 2-3 years is peanuts by comparrison.
Just FYI.

A bit of a side note, but it's starting to become apparent that the AIDS problem in the ME is nearly as bad (if not as bad or worse) as it is in Africa for precisely the reasons it got so bad in Africa (Taboos against talking about it, failure to realise it's a threat, etc etc)
