I was ECSTATIC when I first heard this news a week ago because I immediately understood the symbolic importance of it. This award is as close to a Nobel Peace Prize as a person can come and anyone who knows the significance of the Nobel Peace Prize knows that with the award comes international prestige and renewed interest in the organizations and "causes" that the awardee is involved with. For Bono, that "cause" involves the fulfillment of the MDG's and the elimination of AIDS & extreme poverty in our world. Thus, with Bono receiving the "Man of Peace" award from these Nobel Peace Prize winners, our movement would receive an always welcomed boost in the international arena. That is why I was, and still am, overjoyed at this award for Bono. And from his response, it appears that Bono understood the significance of this award to him too. CONGRATULATIONS, B0N0 - you truly have become a "man of peace".~ ONE HEART, ONE HOPE, ONE VOICE, ONE LOVE - debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org THANK YOU, ONE, for posting this info in the Blog – I was hoping that you would recognize this very auspicious award to the co-founder of ONE.
