Rebranding America

"Rebranding America" it's an article post in The New York Times newspaper by the Singer of the band U2, Bono. He has become one of the world's best-known philanthropic performers and I find out today also a really good columnist. The article is about the changes that can be possible by the union of the world in one cause, in this case, “three greatest threats we face on this planet”, they are extreme poverty, extreme ideology and extreme climate change. This three problems can be solve by the collaboration and unify of ideologies for the wellness of our world, He said that this can be possible following an equation formulated by General Jones: Stability = security + development. But this formula is effective only when American foreign policy conform to that formula; there is where Barack Obama, the Actually President of the United States plays the important role, his fresh and different point of view in the peace world’s matter can make the difference. Bono makes reference to a speech he gave at the United Nations last month, specifically a 36 words that can show his intentions to be the change that not just America, but the world needs in this days. Now as a Nobel of peace representative and his commitment on this change maybe this words can make a lot of sense in the General Jones’s equation. Like Bono, I do believe too that could well be a force for peace and prosperity but the change have to be in everyone of us, in our mind and ideologies, always looking not for our own benefit, but in the benefits of all the human being in this, our planet. It looks like a big task to accomplish and it is, so we have to start now because tomorrow it’s going to be too late. Bono show us an article with proof of what he is supporting that make it more trusty and attractive to different kind of believes. I agree with him and recommend everybody to read it.
