Peace Sells

It was announced yesterday morning that US President Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The win has already been widely decried as very premature just 9 months into his presidency with almost all of his campaign promises still on the shelf. The win was basically for his re-introduction of diplomacy as a foreign policy tool for the States. He has done that, most notably engaging Cuba and Russia. At the same time, however, he has ramped up the war in Afghanistan and become more active in Pakistan. It's a dicey call but he is quite the salesman.

Pace out.
