We are all scratching our heads to why President Obama was awarded The Nobel Peace Prize. Even the President himself was surprised. What is the justification ofthe Nobel committee for awarding a President barely nine months into office and presiding over two wars?

He's not George W. Bush.

GW Bush was a President of war. His mission was twofold (1) Rescue the world from weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (2). Avenge the events of 9/11 by going after the Osama Bin Laden.  As we can see, no weapons of mass destruction were found and neither was Osama Bin Laden.  The world has become very skeptical of our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan and remains a dangerous place.

To the world, Obama is a refreshing replacement of the Bush administration that would not hesitate to attack a 3rd or 4th nation if necessary. His intentions are to end both wars, somehow someway. Weather that is accomplished or not is a different story. For now, President Obama offers hope.  To the Nobel Committee, that's good enough.

Howeverthe Noble peace prize reputation may be at risk especially since the US may haveto keep its military on high alert against several uncooperative nations such as:

1. Iran' - Who continue to not cooperate with international appeal to halt it's nuclear program most believe is to develop a bomb.
2. Afghanistan - Those Taliban people just won't go away.
3. North Korea - The cooperate, then un-cooperate, the cooperate once against, only to show their un-cooperation..again.
4. Any nation against Israel - That pretty much includes the entire mid-east.
5. The moon – Oh yes, he bombed the moon this week. God forbid if the moon is the death star in hiding.

To give this award to Obama in light ofa world with fuse ready to be lit may be pre-mature.
Only time will tell if this selection will prove genius or embarrassment.
