You mean Americans like Bill Clinton. It seems "The Bob" has a different view of president Bush.

"British newspapers once called him Bob the Gob. Now, with just a touch of irony, he's Saint Bob.

Geldof, 53, was first anointed when he organized the 1984 Band Aid single and the Live Aid concerts the next year, which raised millions for famine relief in Africa. Twenty years later, he's behind Live 8, a series of concerts around the world designed to press leaders of the rich G8 countries to relieve the burden of impoverished African nations."

This is a sentiment echoed by many of the African nation's leadership.

The US has pumped billions into Africa, and many times the warlords stole the food, supplies, and money, then sold the goods to some and starved out others.

How long does the US have to keep propping other countries up? When will these other countries ever start to succeed? Is it our responsibility to keep pouring money into these countries, when they don't know what a bootstrap is?
