Nobel Peace Prize...Really ?

The gravity of the Nobel awards has not been augmented by some of their recent selections, including last week's announcement or last year's award of the Economics prize to Paul Krugman, or the 2007 Peace Prize to Al Gore, whose global warming theories he will not defend in open debate. Maybe an early Springtime announcement date of April 1, would be more appropriate.
.
I didn't know that it was the role of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee to be handicapping the future performance of individuals and organizations, given that the deadline for this nomination occurred only twelve days into this current Administration. Nonetheless, I congratulate President Obama on his award and hope that in three-and-a- quarter years from now the Nobel Peace Prize Committee will be seen as prescient. The reason I point that out is because this is same person who requested from Congress for twenty-five thousand additional troops to be sent to Iraq, within the next ninety days. Is that how you END a war...by sending additional troops ? The Republi-Crats are two sides of the same coin.
.
Mr. Obama will best fulfill the promise of peace that the Nobel Committee apparently sees in him by not trying to cure all the ills of the world, but by working to make the United States an example for the other nations of the world through implementation of a Libertarian foreign policy--that is, military non-interventionism combined with free trade policies in fact, and not just in rhetoric as has been the case heretofore. With those guiding principles, the world will be a freer, safer and a more prosperous planet at the conclusion of the Obama Administration. Let us pray...

I twit on this last Monday when I learned about this:

"I'm VERY disappointed at the Nobel Peace price awarding. It is about the people who have actually DONE something. Too early for Obama. :-("

Yesterday I read he is sending 20K troops to Afghanistan.

This awarding is totally disrespectful to the people who have ACTUALLY done/accomplished something in the name of peace.

It is just way to prematurely for Obama.
