I like Barak Obama. He seems the best (of a bad bunch) of recent American presidents.
However to award him the Nobel peace prize within weeks of his inauguration and before he had time to do anything was like awarding somebody the winner's trophy in a race before the race had started.
No he was awarded the peace prize for being Black, nothing more.
Since then he has shown his peace credentials by sending 30,000 more troops to the illegal war in Afganistan.
Other recipients of this prestigious prize include the peaceful terrorist Nelson Mandela,(not just any peaceful terrorist but a BLACK peaceful terrorist)
Martin Luther King, not exactly whiter than white (excuse the pun) also received one as did the gun toting Yasser Arafat.
I wonder how long Tiger Woods will wait for his award for his work in uniting peoples of different races. Going on past experience not long.
Let's face it these "peace awards" are a farce, unlike the Nobel science awards. These latter seem largely deficient in black recipients. I wonder why.
Could it be that science is colour blind and Nobel prizes for this recognise brilliant original intellectual work rather than all this PC nonsense? Perhaps but wait until someone in the climate change lobby receives an award (they may already have done I don't know).
Then the once prestigious accolade will be really be devalued and shown to be like most awards nowadays, PC nonsence.
(Sir) Paul Mc Cartney anybody?
