Being violent towards terrorism isn't going to result in peace.

I'm not really angered at Obama for this, but at the committee or whatever it is that decides this thing.
Why was he even nominated in the first place?

This is what I'm talking about.
People are either thinking about the war stuff he's done, or the things that any normal person does.

"War war war"
"Obama family has big house! Black people have houses!"
"War war war"
"Obama family goes to grocery store! Black people eat!"

Then go ahead and enlighten me.  But honestly, I don't see how a peace prize can be awarded to an advocate of militarily actions.

I don't live in the US so I don't keep up with it. (Though even if I did I still wouldn't.)

But I'm pretty sure I've seen a few facts somewhere in here: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=85258.0

Either way, he's been awarded "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples", which is still pretty bogus.  So he's cooperated with other world leaders, while I'm sure others have done things more worthy.
