The Obama Peace Prize Imbroglio



By Pablo Fanque

After listening to The President justify a two-front war in his speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize yesterday, I've heard everything. I like Barack Obama, mostly. I even voted for him. But all I can think after that speech is:

a) Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Theresa, Albert Schweitzer and the other laureates must be rolling in their graves;
b) "OK, you've won the peace prize. Now go out and earn it!"; and
c) war is not the only road to peace.
