Barak Obama & The not so Noble Prize

Has the Nobel Prize become some kind of a joke? This is definitely not what Mr. Alfred Nobel had wished when he founded the Nobel Prize. It really defies common sense as to on what grounds Barak Obama has been conferred the Nobel peace prize. He has not even completed 9 months in office and in this period he has not done anything so worthwhile so as to make him eligible for the coveted peace prize. So the awarding of the Nobel peace prize to Barak Obama is nothing but the reiteration of the American Supremacy on the world socio-politico and economic system. As they say: The President of the USA is the most powerful man in the world. Obama, it seems is more of a showman than anything else and Hollywood would have been the perfect place for him than the White House. Many of his actions are actually a threat to world peace and he seems to have a hidden politico religious agenda. He has been constantly adopting a persistently soft attitude towards those rogue states like Pakistan and Iran which harbour terrorism. For instance, inspite of the CIA reports indicating that Pakistan had misused the American aid meant for fighting the Al-Quada in Pakistan and Afghanistan by diverting it for more armaments against India as well as using a part of the sum in financing terrorism, Obama has almost tripled the economic aid to Pakistan. Now where does one find any logic in these kind of decisions? He is rewarding the wrong doers for wrong doing which has infact become a kind of an incentive for wrongdoers all across the globe to engage in more wrong doing.So is the nobel prize for peace some kind of an appeasement then, especially to those who have very little to do with real peace? Well,all we can say is that the nobel prize is no longer nobel anymore, at least the nobel prize for peace.
