Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize
I just read about it here: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/6659887.html
My first thought was "Nice! But has he done enough, this early in his presidency, to earn it?"
My second thought was, "Well, he did defeat the double-headed dragon of McCain/Palin — the same McCain who said staying in Iraq 100 years was perfectly fine with him." God only knows what further hell that couple and their cronies would have led us into.
Maybe this alone is enough to make the President a worthy candidate. But if he really deserves the Prize, I think he'll do a whole lot more — like, for starters, ending our bloodsucking wars with ill-defined aims (and little we can win) in Iraq and Afghanistan — as well as making significant progress facing down man-made climate change, our most onerous adversary.

That said, I'm glad he won it. I just hope history proves him worthy.

getting the war criminal cheneybush beast out of office and not letting the war-mongering vietnam war collaborator john mccain in the white house is almost enough to deserve the prize all by itself.
plus his hand-out to the muslim world, his tough talk to israel, his promoting of global warming initiatives and who knows what else have all made the world a better place already.
hopefully this will encourage him to live up to his stated goals and beliefs.
the lyrics to War by Edwin Starr say it all -
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it's got one friend
That's the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing
