This debt deal will benefit tens of millions of the poorest people on the planet,

I just don't think the violence will achieve anything. The debt campaigners have never been violent, and they have achieved a lot.

It says debt, trade and aid in exchange for the Africans coming to the party with good governance. If they don't come to the party, we can't help -- we'd love to, but we can't.

But if somebody dies, if something happens to you, there is a normal process of depression, it is part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience etc.

I don't think anyone sets out to malign poor people but certainly that's what we do through organizations such as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

Everything that's rock n roll is ever meant to be is happening now. I need to get over the shock that that thing is actually happening and that thousands of millions of people around the world are watching.
