Nobel Prize for Obama
President Obama has reiterated the necessity of war at the time of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize! All over the world the warlord is subverting the peace process, especially in Palestine, yet he has been awarded the prize for peace. What a joke!
***
The Nobel Committee may have created two dangerous precedents by giving Nobel Prize for Peace to Obama this year. Firstly, the prize was given not on the basis of what someone achieved but what he promised to achieve and if Obama's actions so far are any guide, he is breaking one promise after the other and staying far from peace. Secondly, his peace prize has come at a time when he is in fact intensifying the war in Afghanistan, with the dubious justification that war brings peace! Even Henry Kissinger, world's meanest war planner, was given the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war and not the other way round, in Vietnam!
