CHORUS: Encourage him, encourage him, encourage him.
You realize that a Nobel Peace Prize is a terrible
burden for a ruler desiring peace, right? You do
realize that national power consists of: (1)
military power, (2) diplomatic power, and (3)
economic power, right? So you do understand that
crowning someone King Gandhi in advance of any
achievement is to weaken the threat of military
power, and as a consequence, to weaken diplomatic
power, which inevitably saps economic power. You
guys do know that national power is necessary for
maintaining international coalitions necessary for
promoting peace? Finally, you guys do know that
the USA was rated most popular country before
Obammy got his NP, so that any PR advantage is
minimal?
"You'll start the chess game by spotting us two
rooks, Obammy, and we crown you King of the Quiet
Middle-Game."
