President Barack H. Obama was awarded the "coveted" Nobel Peace Prize last week. He was chose as the recipient of the award back in February of this year, less than a month in his occupation of the White House. There's been a large public outcry over the President's deservedness of the award. But the question begs to be asked: "Is the Nobel Prize an honorable award?"
After Yassir Arafat was awarded the Prize in 1994, not only could the legitimacy of the award be debated, but totally disregarded. Maybe he was a "reformed" terrorist, but he was responsible for the inflammation of Palestinian hatred of Israel. His Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Fatah Party were responsible for violent acts of terrorism against the Israeli state.
Then there was a man from Plains, everybody's favorite anti-Semite: Jimmy Carter. I guess the argument could be made that he is an advocate of peace. He singlehandedly destroyed the American military in an attempt to appease the Soviets with the SALT treaties. He was partly responsible for helping Egypt steal land from Israel with the Camp David Accords. But his legacy for appeasing Islamofascists and doing everything in his power to undermine Israel and the entire Jewish race should be what we remember him for.
Then there is Mr. Al Gore who was award the Prize for his work involving environmental change. He was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for being a pompous airhead, flying around the world droning on for the sole purpose of making money and listening to himself speak. How he has spread fraternity and peace among the nations is beyond me.
Back to the President. Many have falsely compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler. That is a gross misrepresentation. No, Mr. Obama is the new Neville Chamberlain. There is a reason that Neville Chamberlain was never awarded a NPP. His appeasement of Hitler was a grand act of peace. Do I need to remind you of how that turned out? Obama is trying to appease Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a man who shares many of the same traits as Hitler. It is admirable to strive for peace, but when it empowers men whose intention is to commit atrocities, it should not be condoned.
On an ironic note, I do find it amusing that they awarded Obama the Prize despite his plan to increase troop deployment in Afghanistan.
