Bono Wants The United States Of Africa

Bono
Bono is known for his political activist work, and his latest concern is with the African countries.  He is calling for the creation of the United States of Africa in order for the nations to resolve their conflicts. 

He says, "Irish people used to always have a little giggle when they would see Americans saluting their flags in schools, and then the whole lot standing there, singing the flag thing. But as you get to know a little bit more about things, you start to think, ah, there's so many different tribal groups in the United States, that to create a national identity of that size, they had to really work at this kind of patriotism."

Bono expressed his belief at a conference in Japan last week that African leaders should turn to the U.S. as an example. Props to Bono!

I love Bono and all of the work he's done and is doing to call attention to less fortunate areas of the world. I think that might be a good idea, but at the same time may be difficult because these African nations are so different, and represent many people who are not as similar as others may assume. But positive thinking Bono!

I don't think it will be a good idea for Africa, some counties down south maybe except Zimbabwe, a lot other countries are not ready for peace, democracy and rule of law.
