Now does anyone think this would have ever been done without the work and influence of Bono? Mock him if you will but there is a man that used his talent ( in the Biblical sense) the right way.

I don't see this as a good thing.

Why should the debt be forgiven? The money for it will have to come from somewhere, and those that pay for it are being robbed....that is you and me and the rest of the productive world.

Given how much of this money comes from the U.S. (i.e. taxpayers), I'd say we just got boned by Bono...in a Biblical sense of course.

He used his talent to promote himself, as always, and use other people's money (OPM) to do it. This plan will do nothing for the people that it is supposed to help as it will do nothing to get rid of the corrupt leaders that rack up the big bills in the first place. It will allow those leaders to stay in power and their subjects to stay in poverty. Good job, Bono. I think Jesus would have used the old "teach a man to fish" approach.
