2009 Nobel Peace Prize goes to....

...Obama....
I don't really see why to be honest. Sure, I'd say he was on his way to maybe getting one later on. But I really don't think he has proven himself to be worthy of one. So far I don't think he qualifies. Sure, he's been a serious shift towards increasing international cooperation and communication, but he has not been president long enough to test whether he's 'whole wood' as we say, or just a smoothtalker.

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim:
The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.

According to the news here it seems the majority of the nobel comittee agrees that Obama does not (yet) deserve the prize. So it will be interesting to see how this develops further. It's quite a scandal.

Perhaps it's a preemptive award. He's in a prime position to bring peace, and he seems set on doing so (more than the previous guy, at least...).

Shortly after the announcement that he was getting the award he called his war council into meeting.

Ignorance can be cured; stupid can't.
You are ignorant, but that isn't a bad thing. Knowing it means you can do something about it.

Hours after winning a Nobel Peace Prize, President Barack Obama assembled his war council in the White House basement to talk about how many troops might be needed to right the 8-year-old Afghanistan conflict that military commanders are pressing him to escalate.
Peace with the edge of a sword.
