Saint Bob

I think I will write to His Holiness, The Pope and ask him to nominate Bob Geldof for sainthood.

In Somalia, the recently ousted Islamisists are complaining that the invading Ethiopian Army are crusaders (as they are Christian).

The Somalians have been trounced partly by Ethiopian air power, which includes a stack of aircraft bought from Russia in the 1990's. I read somewhere that they spent $US250 million after being whacked around by the Eritreans.

Live Aid reportedly raised $US280 million. Hmm, I see some symmetry in those numbers. Bob Geldof raises money from the West to re-equip the military of a Christian country. That Christian country then invades a muslim country, sparking off accusations of a crusade. Crusade is quite succesful so far.

In that case, Sir Bob should be made a saint for financing the first succesful crusade in about 900 years. Never figured him for a muzzie whacker.
