Nov. 21, 2005 issue - Asia doesn't have Bono, Bob Geldof and Jeffrey
Sachs, the tireless trio that has made eradicating misery in Africa
their person-al crusade. But one leader acts as if he's bucking for the
job: South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun. As host of the annual
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit this week in Busan, he plans
to put Asian poverty at the top of the agenda. "I wish to draw
attention to the gravity of the social disparities permeating both
within as well as between nations," he told journalists during a Blue
House luncheon in Seoul last week. "And I do wish to make a proposal
for a joint effort to actually ease those disparities."
