Bono backs USA in Afghanistan
January 11, 2002
BONO has thrown his backing behind the conduct of the USA in the war in
Afghanistan.
The U2 frontman said: ?I don?t think historically, the way this
campaign has
been waged against terror, will be seen as anything other than a
success, in
terms of the least loss of human life and a certain measuredness, which
most
of the world were not expecting from the United States,? he told Hot
Press.
Bono ? who has criticised previous American administrations in the past
?
remained unapologetic about his comments.
?Having bitten the arse of American policy in the first 10 years of my
life
in U2, I think you have to give them credit where it is due,? he added.
?There?s a lazy-mindedness about people sitting on the fence in this.
It is
actually not acceptable, especially people living across the road from
Sellafield.? Meanwhile U2 will pay tribute to the victims of the
September
11 terrorist attacks by playing at the Superbowl next month.
The superstars have confirmed that they will play two tracks at the
half-time interlude of the American football extravaganza which is
watched
by 10s of millions of people around the world.
Bono and the boys will introduce members from New York?s Fire and
Police
departments to the crowd as they have done on previous concerts.
