I agree with the majority posting here -- it's difficult to feel that many of these individuals are genuine -- they're so good at manipulating their emotions.
It'll be a cold day in hxll before I believe Julia Roberts or Robert DeNiro. Kelsey Grammer seemed truly shaken.
Aren't Bono and U2 pretty stalwart supporters of the IRA? Sting is quite left leaning in his beliefs -- which he generously shares with us.
All in all, I wasn't impressed--the world has turned, at least temporarily, from these shallow role models. I want to watch and learn from some real heroes and mentors. Firefighters, Rescue Workers, Police Officers, our fabulous military, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, and our own President Bush.
