U2 lead singer Bono joined diplomats and aid experts on Tuesday to appeal for US Senate support for a "Marshall Plan" to provide aid to the Middle East much like the massive relief the United States provided for Europe after World War Two.
"Aid in 2016 is not charity; it is national security," the rock star, who is also an active anti-poverty campaigner, testified to the Senate subcommittee that oversees foreign aid.
"It could be the best bulwark we have against violent extremism," Bono said.

Hey Bozo...you put up the first 100 million.
The Marshal plan helped an economy to recover to its previous state.
Just giving money isn’t going to change the mid east economies into industrialized Europe.
Better yet a MacArthur or a Patton plan!!!
I admire Bono’s sense of compassion, but he is incredibly naive.
Who do you think is going to get that money?
FUBONO
You first. You and your “entertainer” friends can send their millions to the ME at see how that goes to bring civilization to low IQ Islamic savages.
Eff’ing left wing idiots
We have tried that already it dont work f them
First implement an anti-Mohammadan plan. There will never be peace in the Middle East until Mohammadanism is obliterated, no matter how much money is spent.
Awesome, I propose a 50% Assessment on the WEALTH of Musicians and Actors to BAIL OUT EUROPE, Then I would appoint Bonehead as Ambassador to Syria and SEND HIM THERE TO DO HIS WORK.
Somebody pleas slap this fool.
Bono = Irish.
Irish = Muslim sympathizers.
Seems there’s something in their genes..
It also went to countries that used the money to actually rebuild, because they had a superior culture.
Sorry, but throwing money at the Arab world is throwing money down the rat hole.
Do we get to level it first.
What’s the fun of a Marshal Plan if you don’t have the bombing before?
Bono is also a well known tax dodger. He can afford to get the ball rolling if he is indeed sincere.
Why doesn’t he run that shi’ite in his own country?”
Well, since the first part of the Marshal plan involved bombing all the cities in the effected areas into smoking piles of rubble, and then rolling tanks in and killing all the anti-semite fascists. Sure, maybe that’s an idea.
Or lobby his own country.
Can’t wait for Bono to go before the Saudi King and ask for a Marshall Plan for the ME...
Oh’ Wait, they aren’t that stupid...
U.S. Taxpayers already spent $700,000,000 plus rebuilding mosques over there. That’s not enough?
zero looks for any chance to spend money. His goal is to bankrupt America per the Cloward Priven strategy. He is succeeding.
