18. Can you blame him?
:P I vaguely remember reading some article about Bono, where he was talking about his bandmates' reactions to his activism/talking with world leaders, etc. I think it was the Edge who said something about how he wasn't sure how dealing with corrupt people could make the world a better place, and Bono said he'd have dinner with the Devil if it would help end poverty. I remember thinking that he's already done that...every time he met with Bush. :shrug:

6. * looks like an old, old man.
Even Gorby says he has started up the cold war again. What a legacy!

9. What is Bono's problem?
You can work to end third world debt by NOT consorting with the enemy! Nothing is accomplished by trying to work with the evildoers except pissing off your support base and appearing as a traitor. The same with Jesse Helms. That also accomplished nothing.

11. It's his religious belief.
Honestly. He believes literally in the words of Christ to turn the other cheek.

I think it's admirable. It may not really accomplish anything, but it IS what the New Testament teaches.

15. While I agree with you in concept, someone like Bono is able to sit down and talk to guys like *
without vomiting, and is able to get a little of what they want. In the case of poverty, a little is more than none. I admire what Bono is able to accomplish. He isn't pissing off this member of his base supporters!

22. well we saw how well that worked for Pelosi & Reid
They folded faster than Superman on laundry day when the boy king threw his tantrum to get his way. Bono would probably have better luck negotiating with this instead:


Nothing against Bono his heart is in the right place and is very cincere to make a difference.

30. Bono will deal with the POTUS, because America is the richest
nation on Earth. He will deal with the POTUS, no matter WHO he or she is. This is not personal, this is not an endorsement of Bush. This is the reality that for his cause, Bono will meet with the leaders of the world. I'm a little puzzled that there is a lack of understanding as to why Bono does this.

20. If he felt as big of an ass as he looks even 1% of the time...
...he would've resigned in shame years ago.

28. Elvis was high as a kite in that pic with Nixon. Bono probably wished he were to get through meeting

31. Bono and The Edge did an interview on Later... with Jools Holland
Bono went out of his way to praise Bush, saying what a great guy he was, blah blah blah. All of which I would expect from someone whoring themselves, hoping to schmooze money out of a politician. But he went the extra step, blasting liberals for picking on poor ol' Bush; blasting liberals in general for being 'elitist'. Laudable as his intentions are, he isn't savvy enough to tell his friends from his enemies. Moreover, he doesn't know when he's just being used for a photo op.
