Unit 8

- Unit 8 is about the ‘Drugs or Guns’ article which is about the South African’s President, Thabo Mbeki who faces two controversies which is between arms and AIDS. He prefers to buy guns than national anti-AIDS program. That make his credibility is at stake. Crawford Browne argues that the government act irrationally and unconstitutionally. He’s societies is condemning him because he looks like he did not care about the societies. But he has his own reasons. Which are the guns is for the country safeties from outside danger. But he also should realize that his societies is facing a big problem relating to drugs and need his support and help. While Thabo Mbeki think that arms acquisitions are necessary, but the country real war is against AIDS.

- He needs to be more aware with every decision he make. It is to avoid unsatisfied among the societies. Furthermore, he as a president should have thought a better way to overcome these problems.
