In Politics Daily today Bonnie Erbe has written a fine article entitled Norwegians Must Be Asking: Why Obama for Peace Prize? Amen to that.
Here is an excerpt from this very important and insightful article:
"This is not the first time the Nobel Committee has given the Peace Prize to a candidate of expectations. Nor is it the first time it has been awarded someone who used military means to achieve peace: Henry Kissinger’s 1973 half-prize (shared with North Vietnam’s Le Duc Tho) for the Paris Peace Accords — even though the Vietnam War didn’t end for two more years. And Yasser Arafat shared a prize 15 years ago for a Mideast peace that has not yet arrived.
Every time the prize is given to someone whose later record does not comport with the peaceful efforts the committee seeks to award, it lessens the value and prestige of the award. And every time a president disses his base, more Americans lose faith in the political system. Both are travesties that can and should have been averted."
