I think it was a very bold move by the Nobel Committee to secure their irrelevence. Seriously.......he won the Nobel Prize for calling for calling for a reduction in Nuclear arms and stockpiles.....yet N Korea has the bomb and Iran will soon? Has the world seriously gotten safer and less likely to engage in a nuclear conflict since Obama was elected? THAT is the rationale for giving him the Nobel Peace Prize?
this commenter has it right--
