	USA for Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa), was the name under which forty-five U.S. artists, led by Harry Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the World" in 1985.
		The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people.
		A recording of the live performance was released with the Live Aid DVD set released on November 8 2004.

		Salih Booker, executive director of Africa Action, a Washington-based NGO, said Mr Clinton's Africa rhetoric was often hollow, but that he deserved credit for pushing through an African Growth and Opportunity Act, which is supposed to give certain countries access to US markets.
		Geldof, dressed in a white linen suit and desert boots, said the new government was a vast improvement on the "communist-terror" regime it ousted in 1991.

		What I can't understand is what exactly is it that the usa is doing which is causing all this? OK - they have more cars, more aircraft use, and they use energy in both the summer and winter in many states because of air conditioning.
		It's not even the case that developed european countries are so virtuous compared with the usa, as energy use and pollution are still very significant even in these countries, though most governments are trying to reverse the trend even if only by massaging the figures.
