Bono is one of those people who feels guilty. I think even he realizes he doesn't actually acomplish anything. The aid go through (i.e. to) corrupt governments that stay brutal but become more stabilzed. However, in his eyes, its not the results that count, but the effort (sort of a heart is in the right place thing). He will always want aid for these countries, he will get it, it will accomplish nothing, but people will feel better that at least they tried, sort of a stupid version of its better to have tried and lost then not tried at all. Typical liberal thinking. O'neil is an idiot, the only reason he has a job is because he is friends with Greenspan. I'd love to see him resign and let Forbes take over, and push Greenspan out, and bring in Hunter.

I understand your point, however if MR. Bono feels so guilty he should shuck over a few million of his own money.

The thing that has me livid is that he and his Socialist ilk seem to think that money grows on a tree in the United States. He either doesn't know or doesn't care that the US money tree is provided by taxpaying Americans. Never mind that they have mortgages, bills to pay and children to feed, clothe and educate.
