Good for Obama and good for the world.
I am happy to see the world community viewing our leadership as pro-peace and less "might makes right". As far as Obama's actual steps toward peace, he is making good on his pledge to end American involvement in Iraq. I don't think this would have been the case with J. McCain.
On the other hand, as mention by another poster earlier, he is contemplating sending more military force to Afghanistan. This is troubling from a peacemaking perspective. I know the argument is more forces will get the job done and get us out more quickly. However, it seems kind of backward to me. More force = peace.
Let us keep the cause of peace for the good of all alive.
