That Nobel Prize

Really bizarre, no? No doubt, President Obama can point to some diplomatic initiatives that may warrant the committee's praise, but his record is just not prize-worthy.

Two possibilities: a) the world has a sudden shortage of actual peacemakers, which I sorely doubt or b) the Norwegian committee hopes to preempt any further invasions or military action (against North Korea or Iran or wherever else) by laying the peace prize on Obama's conscience.
