Edward: I do think, however, it is somewhat incongruous to have the Nobel peace prize awarded to a president who is currently prosecuting two wars. Granted, he did not start either of them.



Yes but now he knows more about the wars. Interesting the way Obammy's tone changed after a few weeks in office -- recalled Truman learning that FDR had authorized A-bomb production, or the old movie gem, The President's Analyst, with James Coburn. Worlds within worlds.

As for peace, it only comes from war, and unless Swedes rename it the Nobel Non-Aggression Prize, war will remain the prize's template, from which peace arises, efforts toward its growth garnering laurels for the token gesture.
