This weekend's world wide concerts for the poor especially in Africa must be especially heart warming for you, as I saw the Reverend Tutu and Mandela, your countrymen, front and centre.

Debt forgiveness and prosperity for all!

I wonder though, to whom was this debt owned? If I was the president of the World Bank, or the IMF, I would also be pleased because I could now run around the world again, making new big deals. I also wonder how many of these nations were actually making payments, or is it just the old familiar perpetual paper game?

In any case, will the average poor African see any difference in his standard of living? You don't have to answer that.
