That's the headline Time magazine gives on its European front cover to an article by Bob Geldof, who has been travelling with President Bush in Africa.
Elsewhere, it is reported that Geldof believes that President Bush "has done more for Africa than any other President". I can't find this week's Time article on line, but I have just been browsing at the King's X newstand whilst waiting for a train, and it's well worth reading. See here for an earlier article in Time magazine a few weeks ago, which contains some bullet statistics.
As someone who still believes it was right to invade Iraq, I entirely accept that mistakes were made which cost many lives. It would be good to see some more of President Bush's critics, in and beyond the media, acknowledge the other side of the ledger - that he has helped save many lives in Africa. The picture isn't perfect - of course it isn't - and Darfur stands out in particular. But credit is due to the President, and the good news from Africa is being ignored.
