Who would you have chosen recipient of the Nobel Peace prize, winner Professor Muhammad Yunus or Bono? Why?

Bono joined forces with Motorola, Apple, Gap, Converse, Viacom, and many others forming Red Charity. Proceeds going to programs in Africa to fight HIV & AIDs. Bono also joined Bill & Belinda Gates Foundation co-founding DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) organization, which fights poverty and HIV in the developing world.

Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank has been instrumental in helping millions of poor Bangladeshis, many of them women, improve their standard of living by letting them borrow small sums to start businesses. "Every single individual on earth has both the potential and the right to live a decent life. Across cultures and civilizations, Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that even the poorest of the poor can work to bring about their own development," the Nobel Committee said in its citation.

Two great programs but how do you stop people from dying of AIDS long enough to create a better life when the country lacks medication & testing?

Definitely Dr. Yunus. He started his program 40 years ago when he himself had nothing - with only $27 dollars in his pocket (or it's equivalent), he decided he was going to do what he could to bring about change. That's the great thing about what he has accomplished. Most of us are kept from doing small things that can bring about big changes because we think "what can I do by myself?" but he did exactly that - he was one person trying to do what he could to help someone less fortunate than him with the limited means that he had at that time - and now, he is helping millions of people, not only in Bangladesh, but around the world become self-sufficient. I think he is an inspiration to every average person around the world to become motivated and bring about change to make the world a better place.

Go, Dr. Yunus! And, Bono, I still love your music!

Definitely Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank, they get the money where it can actually help people, straight to the people. I'm just happy (and somewhat surprised) the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to someone who actually deserved it this year.

Bono's heart is in the right place, but the programs he's been advocating, like debt relief, Official Developmental Aid, etc., give money to NGOs or governments (or forgive their debts), where it's mostly wasted or lost to corruption. Little to no money filters down to the people who really need it, and in many cases, it keeps corrupt governments in power who ensure their people remain poor and hungry.

Certainly Professor Yunus deserves this award. We are rather surprised that it took so long to award Grameen Bank and Dr. Yunus.

Bangladesh is not at all affected by HIV/Aids rather poverty is a cause.
