Following the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore in 2007 and now Barack Obama, I propose that it should be renamed the "I'm not George W. Bush Prize".

How about "I'm not George Bush and I was elected President"?
This really does remind those of us on this side of the pond what a pariah nation the US has become, and is (one hopes) digging its way out of being.

Much as I admire Obama, it strikes me as odd that someone can be awarded a Nobel prize not primarily for anything he's achieved, but for what he might go on to achieve. What conflicts has Obama helped to resolve?

right now he has taken away the missile shield in Europe and changed it to something less offensive to Russia. which was potentially a huge conflict that could have escalated to much worse.
