Its a slow burn. It has been allowed to happen. The resources to stem the flow are available. The West and the Rest (China etc) revel in the chaos. Disorder is a smoke screen for the Dark Objective. Compassion? My black ass! Went out with the Holocaust.

U2 has been my favorite band since I first started listening to music when I was little, but I'm so sick of Bono's obsession about Africa! What makes suffering people in Africa any more painful then suffering people in Asia, or Latin America? If Bono truly wants to help Africa, then he should give some of his millions towards birth control for Africans...I mean lets get the to root of the problem here!

eh, he doesnt pay taxes in ireland. this hypocrite moved his businesses to holland to avail of the lower taxes and then criticises the irish government for not paying enough to africa.

different people have different values and priorities in life. some people would rather chance catching HIV than abstain from sex or use protection. they want to have as much fun in life as possible and live for the moment. that is the mind set of lots of people in Africa which is why HIV is so prevalent. when you talk to people, young and old, who look you in the eye and tell you this, you realise that in Europe and North America, we don't understand. some of us claim we do, though.

visiting a place, even for a few weeks, is very different than actually living in a place for a length of time. it takes a good few months to realise what you first thought is actually wrong and only after a year or so is when one gets any clarity as to what a place is really about. 'spending a lot of time' in Africa, then, does not necessarily equate to much of an understanding, especially when you're surrounded by media / bodyguards / interpreters etc. where else in the world have you lived?

Africa is perfectly capable of financing its own advancement They have lots of arable land, minerals & human resources. However they also suffer from lots of bad management, tribalism, bigman politics, incessant wars & a hunger to blame others for thr incompetence particularly whites. We can't control this. If thr r probs with thr dignity & equality then they must look to themselves. Bono uses 'We'. How arrogant. As if 'WE' have all the solutions. The solutions r in Africa.

I doubt they consider dying of AIDS a good thing.

gemwocoj, good for you spending time in Africa, but please don't be such an arrogant prick about it. Bono and Bob Geldof spend a lot of time in Africa, which you strangely don't seem to grasp. They both are trying to get support, not cash, from the people. Don't you get this? I'm actually beginning to doubt whether you've even been there before. Maybe you're just making it up so that your anti-Bono stance will somehow have more credibility? Just a thought.
