The end result of Live 8 is nicely summed up by this headline (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050703/lf_nm/group_live_dc_20):

"Africans puzzled by Live 8 but hope for change"



"Yet in Africa where most people are too poor to own a TV, only a fraction of those meant to benefit actually saw the event billed as the world's biggest concert and those who did were puzzled by endless footage of white men with guitars."

I'm just glad we finally licked that hunger thing in Africa because now I can focus on other stuff again. (y)


Oh, and what music did Michael Moore play over the footage of those guys walking on the beach? I forget. I hear the song from Reservoir Dogs in my head.

[yeahwho]

God Bless America and The World!

So Mr. gmsisko, how did you like the Live 8 shows? It may have been a bit too secular for your tastes, Mr. Bush has actually donated more cash than any other president thus far in African Aid.

But....... as always with George there are mitigating factors, as NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/05/opinion/05kristof.html?hp) points out in his NYTimes editorial published today titled,


Bush, a Friend of Africa

The divide I portray between the left and right is, of course, a caricature. Some of the very best work to help the poor is done by liberal-leaning groups, like the Carter Center, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Doctors Without Borders. They all use their resources to make real changes on the ground.

And while Mr. Bush has done much more for Africa than most people realize, there's one huge exception, because anything with a whiff of sex in it makes some conservatives go nuts. Mr. Bush's decision to cut off funds for the U.N. Population Fund means that more African girls will die in childbirth. Even more tragic is the administration's blind hostility to condoms to fight AIDS - resulting in more dead Africans.

Mr. Bush has another blind spot as well: while he is right that aid is not a cure-all, sometimes he seems to use legitimate concerns about aid as an excuse for stinginess. Aid has shortcomings, but Mr. Bush himself has shown that it can be used effectively to save lives by the millions.

Yet Mr. Bush is resisting the G-8's calls for further help for Africa; he thinks the sums are better spent on cutting the taxes of the richest people on earth than on saving the lives of the poorest. Come on, Republicans! You need to persuade Mr. Bush to be more generous this week, because his present refusal to help isn't conservative, but just plain selfish.

"Yet in Africa where most people are too poor to own a TV, only a fraction of those meant to benefit actually saw the event billed as the world's biggest concert and those who did were puzzled by endless footage of white men with guitars."

Africans who knew about the concerts thought they were a good idea but wondered why their own musicians had been sidelined -- a criticism that prompted the last-minute addition of the much smaller Johannesburg gig.

At the Johannesburg show on Saturday some 8,000 people stared nonplussed at a giant screen beaming live footage of U2 and other western acts little known in Africa from glitzier concerts in rich countries.

Ironic
