Grant Piper's June 8 letter, "For Africa's sake, stop money aid," is insulting to Africa and debt relief. Anybody knows that the terms of trade imposed on African economies in the 1980s and '90s were crippling to their future development.
Sure, Bono can be tiresome, but at least his motives are not for profit. If I want to hear griping like Piper's, I can eavesdrop on some crusty expats in the local sports bar.
