Awarding the Nobel Peace to a president: to end wars? to limit nuclear weapons?
October 18, 2009 - 10:59 AM

Like Mr. Obama, the surprise to see the Prize given to a newly appointed president was real.
Yet, we might think that there are reasons to give it to him, at the head of the USA.
He may be compelled to solve conflicts and stop the role the American Army has played since WWII.
Let's hope he wil be helped in his enterprise by those who chose him and his administration.

Annie (France)

Hey, i want to also join the others who believe that the awarding of the Nobel prise is too soon for a president who has more to do especially towards environmental protection.
is it that the award has started loosing it quality because there are so many other deserving persons around the world apart from whosoever it was awarded to this year.
so i am not impress by such award and let the organisers do more research the next time.

I dont see why being Head of State should make Obama any more eligable for the Peace Prize than anyone else, afterall if all US presidents got the prize then it would have been discredited long ago by the more warlike presidents; LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, Bush.
That Obama may be compelled to solve conflicts also does not seem to me to be a good reason to give him the peace prize, afterall this could be said of many other world leaders, why not give it to Chinese Premier Hu. He has considerably more weight with many of the troublemaker governments such as North Korea, Iran, Sudan than the US president does so surely he should get the prize to encourage him to create peace.
Obama seems to have been given the prize due to having made some speaches, talk is however cheap, and in the world of international relations is often not followed up or runs into reality. It is quite likely that Obama will be no more sucessful than previous presidents who have tried to create peace such as Clinton. If this is the case then the Nobel prize has simply discredited itself.

The U.S. has a long and well documented history of dictating rules to other nations. The U.S. then uses 2 different sets of standards to judge who should follow the rules and who is exempt from them. I could site many examples. It would be extremely naive to suggest that Obama will end wars and limit nuclear weapons when he has in fact consented to the expanded use of unmanned aerial drones to kill many more innocent civilians, more than even the previous administration. Add to this that he is now about to send more troops into Afghanistan to widen the war there. Obama is also allowing the Israelis to stockpile hundreds of nuclear and bio-chemical weapons. Obama has also backed off his promise to stop the israelis from continuing to build settlements on Palestian land taken by force with the assistance of U.S. weaponry. We give awards for achievement and results, not for flowery speeches and broken promises. U.S. foreign policy decisions do not originate from the President, they are dictated from the pentagon and the industrial military complex that generates billions of dollars in revenue $$ for the elitists who manage them. The President is merely a hand puppet chosen for his charisma. The real power brokers hide in the shadows and they could care less about a nobel prize. If all young people refuse military service then wars would be a little less likely.
