Bono & Bertie Launch Report...

The eyes of the world have been on Ireland over the past weeks with the Special Olympics, the Global Youth Summit, and today the launch of the Human Development Report 2003. U2 frontman Bono and Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern got together today to launch the Human Development Report 2003.

It is part of an unprecedented dual launch, the second leg taking place in Maputo, Mozambique on Thursday as part of the African Union summit.

The reason for the Report is to aid poorer countries who are languishing in poverty; without access to clean water, lack of food, beset by HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, lacking in schools and adequate healthcare, and degrading environments.

The report stated that over 1 billion people worldwide are living in such conditions. It is the mission of the collective to outline a development programme to tackle global poverty and to achieve their goals by 2015.

Pretty handsome guy. Don't anybody say he looks "OLD". Say he looks 43. He looks very dressed up too.

That said, Bono...lose the damn glasses.

these pictures(at least the middle one)make it appear as if his hairline is the same as it was ten years ago. Maybe it is...?

I heard on tonight's news that congress knocked 1/3 out of the money Bush promised for African Aids relief next year...... no wonder Bono wants to kick dustcan lids......
