Madam, - Your editorial "Geldof in Ethiopia" (June 2nd) points to "Sir" Bob's "penchant for tough-talking" as well as his "ability to grab the headlines". You mention Geldof's praise of President Bush as "a great friend of Africa". True, the US has pledged $15 billion, yet it raised $70 billion to make war on Iraq. Priorities? - Yours, etc.,
