Considering the massively ratcheted down war-probing rhetoric that this administration has been using, especially compared to a previous president that couldn't get enough of it ("bring it on"), especially in the face of a very belligerent Iran and North Korea (both of which are being more calmed than antagonized), I can see why the world has been sighing relief to a large enough degree to award Obama with this. Not to mention his effort to try and close Guantanamo, which I do think will happen during his term but I never expected it within anywhere near the first year of his taking office.

He's obviously a man largely of peace...and seem to desire peace. Afghanistan is a lot more complex than any other issue and the obvious choice is to pull out completely. But I feel if he did that, it would step on so many toes within the Military Industrial Complex, he might got he way of JFK.

If anything, I think his being awarded this prize though is showing how much the world really is conspiring to be more peaceful. The pressure is on Obama and I think he's fully aware of that...perhaps this could be an impetus for him to realize how essential its going to be to finally change our mid-east foreign policy when it comes to military action, no matter what the cost...but I'm sure he's nervous about doing such a thing...and for good reason.
