Nobel Peace Prize for Obama

The question is "Why Obama?". Has he done something worthwhile to consider for supposedly such a prestigious award? Has he made great effort to made peace with his enemies - his personal as well as his nation's? Nothing of the sort has happened. Yet "Nobel Peace Prize" for Obama. Why after all?


The White House acknowledged that this "Nobel Peace Prize" is unjustified and not deserved by "President Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize today in Oslo, Norway, less than two weeks after he ordered 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. In a possible attempt to avoid questions about the Afghan war, the White House has canceled the traditional press conference held by Nobel Peace Prize winners. "


Obama himself acknowledged the tragedy of "Nobel Peace Prize" by saying that   


"Somewhere today, in the here and now, in the world as it is, a soldier sees he’s outgunned, but stands firm to keep the peace. Somewhere today, in this world, a young protestor awaits the brutality of her government, but has the courage to march on. Somewhere today, a mother facing punishing poverty still takes the time to teach her child, scrapes together what few coins she has to send that child to school, because she believes that a cruel world still has a place for that child’s dreams. "


That "soldier" may be fighting for "independence" but may be labeled as "Terrorist". That "young protestor" may be wrong in her protest but may be seen by many people 'fighting for just cause". That "mother" may need a tiny fraction of the defense budget of USA to live happily forever. Who in this world has the right to decide what is wrong and what is right? Barak Obama or Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded to the person who:

“	during the preceding year [...] shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.
