David Kramer on Barack Obama winning the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

If the economically-ignorant Paul Krugman could win the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics while continuing to promote the exact same economic policies that got us into our current economic mess, why shouldn’t Barack Obama win the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for escalating an unjust war in Afghanistan plus starting a potential new war by already bombing Pakistan (something even his predecessor didn’t have the “pleasure” of doing)?

What did George Orwell write in 1984? War is Peace? I guess so—at least according to the Nobel Peace Prize committee members.
