I'm doing some reading on the issue now, and will respond when I've got a little more data.

Briefly, though, if one accepts the general thesis of the paper: Third World population growth, combined with negative growth among Western countries, has serious implications for reducing our sphere of global influence, then one could imagine this being perceived as a "problem". Further, one could imagine a scenario in which certain solutions were proposed. One could imagine, given man's history of inhumanity to man, the AIDs epidemic being one such solution.

Though I've heard AIDS conspiracy theories before (and quickly dismissed them) this is the first time I've given a second thought to this issue.

Quotes like this, though plausibly benign, inspire me to become a little more informed:

". . . in 1999 UNFPA [United Nations Population Fund] representative Fran Jansen said that AIDS was helping to do the work of population control in Africa."
