The spectacle of Mr. Obama mounting the podium in Oslo to accept a prize that once went to Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi and Mother Theresa and henry kissinger. the right kinda ignores that... would be all the more absurd if it follows a White House decision to send up to 40,000 more US troops to Afghanistan. However just such a war may be deemed in Western eyes, Muslims would not be the only group to complain that peace is hardly compatible with an escalation in hostilities. hardly, if the escalation is justified. unless, of course, you're an appeaser from the right Mr. Obama's prize is more likely, however, to be compared with the most contentious prize of all: the 1973 prize to Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho for their negotiations to end the Vietnam war. Dr Kissinger was branded a warmonger for his support for the bombing campaign in Cambodia; and the Vietnamese negotiator was subsequently seen as a liar whose government never intended to honour a peace deal but was waiting for the moment to attack South Vietnam. the difference is, of course, our defense activities in afghanistan are justified; kissinger's war mongering and mass murder in vietnam wasn't The achievements of all previous winners have been diminished. sour grapes |

The achievements of all previous winners have been diminished. And the last sentence says it all. And you can expect no comments from the usual suspects... It's a damn shame. Here Don proudly posts an article about the accomplishments of some folks up his way - enough to earn a Nobel prize. A couple days later this fiasco occurs, giving the medal all the prestige of a golf ball marker. Damn shame. John, does this now mean *that If can actually type an exceptional sentence with perfect spelling. I could be up for a Pulitzer? I do believe that's possible. Just try to type the sentence *after* you're awarded the prize. That'll put you on the same type pedestal as our hero, the big O. Note the past tense in this: ""...and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work..." As 'Bama had done nothing prior to his selection, all rules are off the table as far as selections go. So, how are you going to spend your prize money? New boat? Hey, you can't get a prize for just a sentence. You need to be an apologist, euro-socialist, pansy... Rats! |
