Again, from what I have read, Bono *does* know his shit. The only difference between him and other NGO policy wonks is that he is famous. You can't give him credence because you are basing your opinion on a collection of sound bites generated in the celebrity machine. The same machine that tells us to feel good about Paris Hilton because she's giving money the SPCA or some shit like that...
Do yourself a favour and read the DATA website... it is an organization that is doing go work. It also just happens to be run by Bono and some other concerned people.
