Cui Bono actually means "Who is Bono" - an existential question that's been around since the release of the song "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and subsequently analyzed.
Quote:
Partly philosophical, partly conspiratorial, "Who is Bono" relates to the initially scorned yet since verified stories which reported that the popular singer, whose name is Paul David Hewson, was instrumental in ending The Troubles in Ireland, politicizing the IRA, and bringing peace to the strife-torn country.
There are many reports Hewson was also the first to chisel off a piece of the Berlin Wall after having led the initial wave of East German refugees to freedom via Hungary in what was to become the end of not only the Eastern Bloc but the Soviet Socialist Republic as a whole.
Hewson was found in his flat, early Sunday morning.
