Although you did not specify whom the terrorist was, the way you put it made it sound like you meant Obama.

Apparently most of you are completely clueless of the many visits to other countries he's been on recently to improve relations with countries that had not liked us so much thanks to a few past presidents. Of course this isn't much however its an improvement and a step in the right direction. I think it's a bit early for him to get it though since he hasn't been president long and done much. Also if you think that he can avoid the war on terrorism over in Afghanistan and just pull people out you have to be loving kidding.. They've been needing more support and pulling out troops would be terrible with the recent attacks.

If Obama can get the Nobel Peace Prize, then my cat could get the Olympic gold medal.

They gave him the award for "Intentions of making peace" Thats like giving you your high school diploma in 1st grade.
