Bono impressed by 'quick-witted' Bush
07/06/2005 - 07:15:41Bono has praised US President George W Bush for his quick wits and empathy.
The outspoken rocker was also amazed to find Bush was sympathetic to his fight against poverty and AIDS in Africa.
He says: "He was more amusing than I expected… quick-witted. I got quickly to the point and the point was an unarguable one - that 6,500 people dying every day of a preventable and treatable disease would not be acceptable anywhere else other than Africa, and that before God and
history this was a kind of racism that was unacceptable.
"He said: 'In fact, it's a kind of genocide.' "
