Just because Bush promised money to Africa doesn't mean they actually got it. Bush promises are worthless.

I hate his music, but he's a brilliant guy. I'd say they should do one of this videos on Bob Geldof too, but I guess he doesn't have as much a spotlight 'cos his music isn't as popular.

Great how the ... ( 1 year ago by RonanG)

Great how the filmmakers got everything in of import, yet kept the whole thing simple, engaging and interesting. As to Bono's work in third world debt, poverty, aids etc,I know it's popular among the 'idiot brigade' and the 'Belligeratti' in the media to attack him etc, but I have the height of respect for him. Not one of our so called leaders in the world today can claim the responsibility of having the World Bank write off billions of dollars in third world debt. Ronan Gallagher

They lend out a bookkeeping entry called credit. Its all just a game: "Debt forgiven, debt forgiven!". What do they care? The IMF is still holding American birth certificates as chattel collateral against it.

May be you are right...because you are american (as i belive) and you know more and better about your country. But Bono is really good musican!

It's great that ... ( 8 months ago by gavmazterj)

It's great that America provides aid on Bono's behalf, but I am still a working American college student about to graduate with $30,000 in debt. I work 40 hours a week in addition to class and my tuition-tax-break is already used up. So it's sad that people halfway across the world scrounge for an existence but I am not involved in their tribal battles and I would like for my government to throw me a cool buck so when I go to law school I can focus on school and not on work. Thanks USA.

Is "fighting AIDS" ... ( 1 month ago by ricci1007)

Is "fighting AIDS" funding "AIDS"? What about malaria and TB?
Is "AIDS" in Africa is a new disease? Or are TB and malaria and poverty just relabelled? Watch "AIDS Inc" video. HIV tests don't detect a virus but malnutrition.
