Obama wins Nobel

Monzur Rahman, Dhaka
The only positive side of Obama's winning of the Nobel Prize, in my view, is that he prudishly reiterates the need for peace in the present world, although during his presidency he could add no feather to his cap which can be quoted as his achievement, especially in obtaining peace. In the name of bringing peace in the middle-east, he supported the Israeli stance. In some cases he is unequivocal in taking side with Israel which has been killing innocent Palestinians almost every day. In the name of establishing peace and democracy, he is supporting the most corrupt regime of Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan who has been killing or letting the foreign forces kill hundreds of his countrymen. In the name of establishing peace Obama is adding more 40,000 ISAF troops to Afghanistan whose only task will be killing thousands of people more. Yet he has got the Nobel Peace Prize this year. Killing thousands of innocent people Mr. Rabin, the then Prime Minister of Israel and patronizing the killers Henry Kissinger also got the same Nobel Peace Prize. What a paradox!
