I totally agree about Geldof. Anyone who is doing anything, has my respect for that part of their agenda.

As much as the rest of Bush's foreign policy is disagreeable, it's nice to see Africa get a real break now. But there are always political motivations. African-Americans cast 10% of the votes in 2000 and... The Democratic share of the black vote in 2000 increased from its already high level in 1996. Vice- President Gore’s share of the black vote was 90 percent in 2000, up from President Clinton’s 84 percent in 1996. Governor Bush’s eight percent of the black vote was less than Senator Bob Dole’s 12 percent in 1996. Ralph Nader received one percent of the black vote, considerably less than the four percent Ross Perot received in 1996.
