Nobel Committee Strikes Preemptively

I don’t  know what the Nobel Committee was thinking. Obama doesn’t deserve the Peace Prize. Do they not see the irony that he’s considering a troop surge in Afghanistan right now? Someday, Obama could very well deserve the prize. His commitment to diplomacy over saber-rattling and war has been significant and commendable so far. However, that’s really what should be expected from all American presidents. There hasn’t been any substantial improvements to the international peace and Obama has not yet been in a situation where a dire situation gives him an important decision  to make between peace and violence. I’d turn it down.
