Uganda will be a desert in two year – we were told 15 years ago. *"At
least 30 percent of the entire adult population of Central Africa is
infected with the AIDS virus," a doctor tells a U.S. newspaper. A high
Ugandan official says that within two years his nation will "be a desert."
ABC News Nightline declares that within 12 years "50 million Africans may
have died of AIDS."

Actually, those statements and predictions were all made between 1986 and
1988. Yet since 1985, Central Africa's population has increased over 70
percent while Uganda's has nearly doubled. Japan, conversely, has close to
no AIDS cases yet its population growth has essentially stopped.
