Bono Gets Medal for His Work in Africa
by Mike the Usurper at 3:12 pm EDT, Sep 28, 2007

"Your America is where Neil Armstrong takes a walk on the moon," Bono said. "Your America gave Europe the Marshall Plan. Your America gave the world the Peace Corps."

"America is not just a country, it's an idea, isn't it? It's a great and powerful idea," he said. "The idea that all men are created equal, that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Bono gets it. America is about more than just the policies and all that, it's about the ideal we need to try to live up to. The ideal is why America can be the greatest country in the world. It's why when we blow it off (like the current administration) we look like assholes to the rest of the world.
