I think this is really heartwarming in a way. I love stories of major philanthropists. I especially love that they upped the donation in order to compensate somewhat for the US's refusal of funds. That to me indicates that they have a true dedication to the cause.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said Thursday it will give an additional $50 million to the United Nations's global fund to fight AIDS, a day after the United States said it won't give the resource-short charity any more money.
