Davos Annual Meeting 2005 - The G8 and Africa

interesting YouTube. Simply the fact that suddenly my posts will not POST and reads 'Error, try again' tells me you have been purchased by the powers that be. Why don't you simply close up shop? You no longer own your own company!

Nice one, WoeldEconomicForum? Interesting.

Bono would not make a comment against Britain and its occupation of Northern Ireland - because he knows it may effect record sales, but he has so much to say about other countries problems - f...king coward and hypocrite.

[Medeasbiggestfan]

Britain isn't occupying Northern Ireland anymore than the US is occupying Texas.

i dont believe the comments about Bono.

HE WANT TO BE THERE...

THEY WANTED HIM TO BE THERE..

WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH THAT????

[dave1122drum]

this bugs me. I couldn't help but laugh when the camera paned by BONO. What fame can do eh? The problem is BONO is not tied in. He can't make things happen like Clinton or other presidents. Why is he there? It is like someone who has never been to school approaching a firm asking for a job as a lawyer. Laugh please. "Hey Mr. Lawyer did you do that job I asked you to do"? Who the fuck are you wannabe. I am sure these politicians walk away laughing at bono knowing it is an act. You are a POP star.

bono is the link between the people and the government...that is why he is there. billions of people love him and listen to him. he plays a vital and unique role in getting people involved.

Thank you very much for this video.

The moderator for this forum is extremely offensive and unprofessional. She apparently does not properly understand what "moderator" is. She's not there to express her own personal bias against the US. She is there to "moderate." I KNOW our government does not have a proper system for helping other impoverished countries. I KNOW our government can do more than they are doing right now.

Bono shouldn't be there.. he isn't a political leader what so ever.

[genmonty]

totaly agree there are alot of other people who do a hundredtimes more but because they arent famous musicians no one pays them attention

[yankbrew]

..and that's exactly the reason why Bono's there - they do pay attention to what he says! And he's able to draw that attention into right direction.

I have to point out that near the end there was an emphasis on nets as a way to prevent malaria. Why isn't money being spent to take out the root cause of malaria which are the mosquitoes? Are these bright minds saying that nets, and waiting for a vaccine are the solution? It takes time to develop a vaccine and people are dying everyday as Bono mentioned. The nets don't address the problem directly. I can't believe that there is no bug spray in Africa.

Bono is wrongly attributed as being from the 'United Kingdom' in the text introduction, an unforgivable mistake as we all know perfectly well that Bono is from Ireland and NOT the United Kingdom.

This is an important point/correction and comment approval for it is is imperative.

[WorldEconomicForum]

The mention United Kingdom refers to the headquarters of his organization DATA, not his citizenship.

[KenfromDublin]

Thank you for the clarification of this ambiguity as I'm sure anyone reading it - like myself - would assume it refers to the individual's nationality.

I thought PRESIDENT CLINTON(THE GREATEST PRESIDENTENT OF THEM ALL)AND bono gave a gr8 ARGUMENT to reach out 2 the poor of ARICA.
