>...so we should help them.

No, we shouldn't.

But if you wish to give no one is stopping you. Go ahead and impoverish yourself. Economic resources are limited, you know.

And WHY is it OUR responsibility?
When did that happen, and how?
The Dem line is that China is a superpower.
Let THEM help out then.

>I totally agree with cjboog2

If you agree with cjboog2, you must disagree with giving to America's and Europe's poors, since resources are limited and if we give to one party there won't be any left to give to the other side.

I am not going to attempt to be an apologist for Bono, but the article fails to report what actually occurred. While he did hit up the President and Congress for more money, Bono spent a good deal of time praising the President and Congress for providing significant money to make medication available to treat AIDS in Africa and provide bed nets to prevent the spread of malaria.

He also thanked the religious folks in the audience who have led efforts to address the dire problems in sub-Saharan Africa. He particularly mentioned Bill Frist who apparently spends a good deal of time in Africa every year and was there last year digging water wells.

So, I would admit that he may have gone overboard in attempting to shakedown the US for more foreign aid, he did offer reals props to W and others for what has been done.
