Dave Marsh has posted a searing attack on Bono on Counterpunch, which I’m linking, because I’ve never quite bought the idea of St. Bono, Savior of the Huddled Masses...
“Bono is no man of peace--he has yet to speak out against any war. Bono is part owner of Pandemic/Bioware, producers of Mercenaries 2, a video game which simulates an invasion of Venezuela. Last year Bono met with US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to discuss plans to set up a new U.S. military command for Africa. Forbes, the magazine Bono co-owns, constantly beats the drums for war (Bono says he was attracted to the magazine because it has a “consistent philosophy”).” (Click here for the whole tirade.)

Thsnks so much! I always et the shivers when I see that Bono guy...
Never liked him. Ever.
Funny thing... Mercenaries 2 was terrible by general gaming standards. Here's a link to a video with narration by a funny guy who talks real fast with a british accent bitching about it for roughly 4 or 5 minutes while crazy animations represent his complaints:
