I hope Gates conveyed the truth about starvation in Africa to Bono.
African nations starve because of inter-tribal warfare and brutal dictatorships. Raising money won’t feed Africans unless someone can stop the warlords from stealing the food and money.
If Bono can see the truth in that, then maybe he can make a difference in the way aid is raised and distributed.
To: ECM
What does Gates have to do with World Poverty anyway? His job is to prepare people to kill other people and break things.

What does Bono/poverty have to do with the Pentagon? I miss Rumsfeld so much. Where have all the men of steel gone?

A spokeswoman for DATA, the group co-founded by Bono to fight poverty and AIDS in Africa, said the singer had been in Washington to meet members of budget committees in Congress.

We can’t be in Iraq, but by golly we can ship U.S. tax-dollars overseas for non-national security reasons. And before any liberal claims that foreign poverty and AIDS are legitimate national security threats, let me be the first to say “mule-muffins!”.

The guy has a lot of nerve, considering he’s a tax evader in his own country.
To: Sybeck1
I guess he’ll send troops to buy lots of stuff and bring up the economy. Get real Bone-head!

What makes Bono such an expert on anything? I hope Gates was just humoring himself. Bono is a naive do-gooder.
To: ECM
Why do we even entertain these Bozo's who somehow think being a music or Hollywood celebrity makes them expert on World Affairs?
This yahoo is only seeking to bill U.S. taxpayers to redistribute wealth to 3rd world countries, whereas we should let them starve of their own free will.
