OlderBono is a Global Initiator
Bono attends the opening session of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) on Wednesday at the Sheraton Hotel in New York City.
President Clinton is hosting the fourth annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, a gathering of politicians celebrities, philanthropists and business leaders to discuss pressing global issues.
“It is extraordinary to me that you can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can’t find $25 billion to save 25,000 children who die every day of preventable treatable disease and hunger,” Bono told Clinton’s fourth annual philanthropic summit in New York. “That’s mad, that is mad.”
“Bankruptcy is a serious business,” the 48-year-old U2 singer said, but added, “this is moral bankruptcy.”

hungry children in 3rd world-countries are not (only) a problem, but the result of another problem….
and thats not (just) wars or not having enough to eat
BUT the injustice of the rich countries: US, Canada and EU and others protect themselves against competition from 3rd w countries through high duties on manufactured goods and hinder them in developing a real infrastructure.
why is this world so full of people who want to cut all the poppies down. some of you guys talk about bono like he does actually sit on his **** and does nothing, he gives of his wealth and he also works for his wealth and good on him! if everyone of us gave the same percentage of what we have as he does, the world would be a better place! so if we earn $10 bucks a week and give 1% and he earns $10,000 and gives and gives 10% (as he does and more!) we may see change. The thing that gets me about bono, is he doesnt ask for cash, he asks for your voice, so that the higher powers can hear the voice of the people and make a change! He may not save everyone but at least he is doing what he can and he is making a difference to thousands of people, so to the evil lord, jack jones and carter, do your home work and stop showing wot idiots you are, didnt your mother ever tell you to think before you speak?
