Bono, as always, rocks the house in Berlin.

“Tonight I’d like to talk about getting on the right side of history. Not just me but all of us…..

Every age has its defining struggle; and the last one, in large part, was waged and won here in Berlin - the fight against fascism and Sovietism. People braver than me won that one.

But our generation has its own defining struggle, and it’s the fight against AIDS and the extreme poverty that fuels its spread and against our own indifference. That’s our struggle. And unlike before, Berlin’s not the frontline, although there are definitely battles to be fought here.

No, the frontline is Africa. I know that’s hard to take when all we see on the nightly news in the Middle-East. But history will remember this age for three things. Yes, the war against terror; the internet; and I promise you, how we let an entire continent burst into flames, while we stood around with watering cans.”
