First of all, weren't these comments that Bono made on the RTE about two summers ago regarding why he wouldn't run for PM in Ireland?
So this article starts out with erroneous info.
And, secondly, Boston Anne and verte76 are correct. Bono is doing what he is doing with the politicians of the world NOT because he wants to, but because he is politically savvy enough to know that he HAS TO deal with them in order to have any effective chance of bringing the attention, concern and money to Africa necessary to secure a positive Future for her!
I have stopped worrying about those who constantly nitpick about Bono and his humanitarian endeavors.
They can say what they want, but somehow I think the B-man is being protected by a Higher Order and his efforts WILL SUCCEED!
People have yet to learn that it is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
WHAT YOU GOT THEY CAN'T STEAL IT. NO, THEY CAN'T EVEN FEEL IT.
