Live8 itself will not work, but G8 can make a difference, and maybe live8 made an impression on those responsible for the results of that conference. Hoping for the best, but I'm a bit cynical concerning world leaders motifs ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

Band Aid did a lot to help..... governments buy more weapons to control its people... and have a good supper ! Medecins Sans Frontieres prefered to leave Ethopia then give out the food to the military in exchange for the right to stay there and watch people being killed... Will history repeat itself ? People forget... |

It's not the world leadres, it's the dictators ruling the countries in Africa that are the problem. |

| It's a band aid (no pun intended) rather than a solution for the situation. Nevertheless, it is a noble thing for musicians (or anyone) to do. |
