Premature Peace Prize
The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Pres. Obama is ridiculous and inappropriate and indicates the completely political nature of this award. While Pres. Reagan did not receive the award for bringing about the end of the Cold War, Obama gets it for ...nothing. What has he done, nothing, what has he achieved, nothing, what does it look like he will achieve, nothing. At least wait and see what he might achieve.
The fact is that this award had a February 2009 deadline and so Obama was nominated only 12 weeks after he took office, and that is ridiculous. It clearly shows the leftist views of the Norwegian Committee who gave him the award simply for being elected and for his words not his deeds.
For the first time I agree with Hamas, who labelled the award to Obama as "premature." By contrast Pres. Abbas of the PA and Pres. Peres of Israel congratulated Obama for his award, while the region appears to be headed for increased violence and possibly war. By taking the Palestinian side over the building freeze, Obama has given the Palestinians hope that they can defeat Israel during his Administration without the usual strong support that America usually gives Israel. Even now there is rioting of Palestinians in East Jerusalem and Muslim leaders are calling for Palestinian men to be prepared to die to defend the Al Aksa Mosque, when there has been no Israeli action against it at all. This is the usual way of stirring up Muslim hatred and action prior to a violent outbreak such as an intifada. If there is one, it will be traceable to Obama's bad policy decisions.
By the US not opposing Iran in a timely and tough manner, Israel may be forced to strike Iran's nuclear sites, and if they do it will be traceable to Obama's so-called engagement policy, that has been a total failure. While the President's advisers pronounce themselves pleased with the response of the Iranians to the Geneva Talks, actually nothing has been achieved so far and the Iranians can and will continue to enrich uranium. While receiving the Nobel Prize for peace Obama will be responsible for wars that may break out in the Middle East, as well as the continuing war in Afghanistan.
It is possible that in time Obama may deserve such a prize, but by giving it prematurely before he has actually completed any peace process it cheapens all Nobel Prizes. What a farce!
