< * Yitzhak Rabin, a war criminal who "as a soldier and politician […] personally oversaw the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian cities like Lid in 1948; he ordered tanks into Arab villages inside Israel during the Land Day protests of 1976, leading to the deaths of half a dozen unarmed Palestinian citizens; and in 1988 he ordered his army to crush the first intifada by "breaking the bones" of Palestinians, including women and children, who threw stones at the occupying troops."

Obama gets the Peace Nobel Prize? What’s wrong with these people?

Am I so misinformed?

I’ve heard people say that he’s giving hope to those who had none. Well, let me tell you: I still have none!

The United States of America is blessed with two conservatives parties. While they sure sound different, talk is cheap.

Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap.

See?

Hope is not a plan.

People claim that he was nominated for the prize after twelve days in office! “The deadline for submitting candidates had come just 12 days after he entered the White House.” [1] I find that disgusting.

Some people say that “The award is also an example of what Nobel scholars call the growing aspirational trend of Nobel committees over the past three decades, by which awards are given not for what has been achieved but in support of the cause being fought for.” [2]

Reminds me of certain three individuals in 1994:

You can hope for the best, but you should only reward people with 10 million Swedish crowns having a proven track record for peace. We all hoped that Oslo would lead to peace. But it went nowhere. [6]

These three people were honored for the hope they inspired in 1994.

But Hope is not a plan.
