Nice acrobatics of words !! Thats what Barack Obama is doing right from the moment he entered the White House. There have been Videos and Books on his speeches. A text for those aspire to become orators. Winston Churchill was the one before this. The mere acrobatics of words has made the Black President of predominantly White America, a Mesiah. The world sees him as its saviour. Is it really so? Can he do it? He said, Yes we can !! And the World recited it like a Nursery Rhyme.
December 10, he was bestowed with the Peace prize. And the cynic part of it is that, the Noble Peace prize is worth a price and has been undervalued. Since 1901, the US has been imposed upon with this award 24 times !!
Saddest part of it is that, it has been given the award even in 1945. After nearly assaulting and bringing an end to almost a nation, it was conferred upon with this award. Even in 1946. Having been in war front throughout the century and having been assimilating wealth at the cost of world poverty and expanding its economic and political barriers at the cost of lives of innocent, it has been time and again given this Prize. It would be appropriate to say that "this time the US keeps the prize for itself".
Obama could not himself believe that it came to his hands !! War with Vietnam, Afghanisthan, Iraq, threatening Iran, North Korea, compelling developing nations to sign certain treaties which US has itself violated or has not ratified, all goes as the parametres for getting the Noble Peace prize.
By conferring this award to Barack Obama, the Commitee has devalued the Peace prize and demoralised the peace loving world. When Al Gore was chosen for the award, the US had disagreed to adhere to the Kyoto Protocol and now it has not ratified and has not been in consonance with the Copenhagen summit. How can such a rouge country save the world?
The Noble has lost its Nobility. Its just an other Poltical award. It can easily be purchased for ransome or at Gunpoint !!
