Nobel Peace Prize to Obama

People marvel at the idiocy of these Nobel awards, but there’s method in the madness. Woodrow Wilson, the liberal imperialist with whom Obama bears some marked affinities, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919, having brought America into the carnage of the First World War. The peace laureate president who preceded him was Teddy Roosevelt, who got the prize in 1906 as reward for sponsorship of the Spanish-American war and ardent bloodletting in the Philippines. Barack Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, may become their genuine successor: he allowed Israel to murder Palestinians and his general McChrystal to request 40,000 new US troops to be deployed to Afghanistan. Obama can enrich these achievements during the coming years. German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama.
