== Bill Clinton's Circumcision Advocacy ==
At the 16th International Conference on AIDS, former US President Bill Clinton called for the world to prepare to tackle the cultural taboos surrounding circumcision, claiming it protects men and the women they sleep with from AIDS. Clinton went on to say that the United States is spending more to fight HIV than any other government. Clinton joined Microsoft co-founder [[Bill Gates]] in praising President George W. Bush's [[President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief]] (PEPFAR).<ref>{{cite newsREFnews | last= Brackman | first = Rabbi Levi | last coauthors= BrackmanRivkah Lubitch | coauthors url= Rivkah Lubitchhttp://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3291902,00.html | title = Clinton: Circumcision - the answer to AIDS | date = 08.Aug 16.06, 2006 | publisher = Reuters, Ynetnews | url quote= http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3291902,00.html | work accessdate= Ynetnews}}</ref> Bill Clinton ponders mandatory circumcision.<ref>{{cite newsREFnews | first last= Lisa | title first= Bill Clinton ponders mandatory circumcision | date coauthors= Wednesday, 16 August, 2006 | url = http://thelondonfog.blogspot.com/2006/08/bill-clinton-ponders-mandatory.html | work title= Bill Clinton ponders mandatory circumcision | date=Wednesday, 16 August, 2006 | publisher= The London Fog | quote= | accessdate=}}</ref><ref>{{cite newsREFnews | last=Boseley | first = Sarah | last coauthors= | url= Boseleyhttp://toolserver.org/~magnus/makeref.php | title = Circumcision may be the answer to Aids, says Clinton | date = Wednesday , 16 August 2006 | url publisher=The Guardian | quote= http://toolserver.org/~magnus/makeref.php | work accessdate= The Guardian
