"Today we find ourselves in a state of perpetual war. In the fifteen years since 9/11 the US has waged war in over half a dozen countries to end terrorism and yet today there are more terror organizations with larger populations operating in more western countries than ever before. So if dropping bombs is the answer, then maybe we're asking the wrong question - because this war on terror only seems to be breeding more war and more terror."

They have done a lot worse in awarding the prize (yasser arafat).

I actually think the mistake was Obama's in accepting the award. He should have politely declined because a) he was not going to radically change course in any US policy and b) I always felt there was a twinge of Euro snobbish anti-Americanism in awarding the prize to him.

That being said, President Obama is no Bob Dylan :cool:, so it would be real hard to turn down such an honor.

I am not anti-Obama, but I always felt that award for entirely undeserved. He hasn't brought about a great peace in the world. At the time of the award, he hadn't even been in office for a full year.
