Obama

Obama: War and Peace
A more experienced President Barack Obama took the forage-policy stage at his Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. It was an incredible mood change when he said that he supported the need for a just war as he quoted that "evil does exist in the world".

These were some strange words to hear from an anti-war leader who was receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize committee was conferred two months ago. They dazzled on President Obama promises within days of committing himself with enemies, the shutter of the Guantanamo prison and to end the torture.

President Obama honored Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi but stated that he "cannot be guided by their examples alone" and that there would be times where they would use forces if it was necessary. Iran is backing off promises to put an end on the nuclear work. While NATO' s allies are sending troops aside from the U.S surge of 30,000 troops in Afghanistan. President Obama tries to shape foreign policy but at his own terms.

I don't agree on President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize because he hasn't done anything to show that he actually deserves it. I also think it is too early for him to receive an award because he has promised many things but haven't done anything. For example, he said that one of his main issues was to end war and to bring troops back home. Instead of bringing back he is sending more troops. They are giving him awards when he hasn't done anything.
