Darth Smith is right. Bono is a rock star. What credibility does he have to lose? He is a musician not a politician. Who cares if Sinead is in a snit because he is having cheese with a major power player in world politics? Sour grapes in her department. If (God forbid) Hillary Clinton was president (gag) and Bono had tea and crumpetts at the White House would Sinead and her ilk have had such negative comments? Being a tax payer what is another billion dollars or so added to giant outstanding debt of this country? A drop in the bucket.

Hey Ron, is that the most intelligent comment you can thik up? Just wondering since so many people have posed very welll tought out comments and you follow up with something my 9 year old migh say. I'm a huge Bono fan and I admire his committment to his cause. Unlike many celebs he's been willing to put his money where his mouth is and might actually end up making this world a little better place. I'm sick of all the lefties being against anything Bush does just because Bush does it and sleeping (sometimes literally) with the enemy when it comes to the war on terror. Maybe Ron will volunteer to house a few Gitmo detainees in his house!

For Bono to speak to the leaders of the western world about African poverty and to actually have them listen and act, is nothing short of a miracle. Not being religious, but considering myself a follower of Jesus Christ, I think Bono has achieved a kind of gentile sainthood, for his stand for the poor. In my view, that is specifically what Jesus taught, and that makes Bono a saint, regardless of the religious powers that be.
