Mockery of peace!

The Nobel Committee has awarded the 2009 Peace Prize to US President Barack Obama, the person who started a new war in Pakistan, expanded the war in Afghanistan. He has created 2 million displaced Pakistanis and the unknown numbers of dead ones. Obama’s “war of necessity” drones are killing civilians of Afghanistan. He continues to threaten Iran with attack unless Iran does what the US government demands and rejects its rights as a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty. Yet, he is a "peacemaker" to Nobel Committee!
In 5 month Obama regime, no Bush policy has changed. Obama has done nothing to hold the criminal Bush regime to account for its crime against humanity. Iraq is still occupied and Obama has continued deadly, inhuman military action in Iraq. He is going to send tens of thousands more troops to Afghanistan and escalating the bombing in that country and across the border in Pakistan. He is constantly supporting and aiding Israel which is carrying out many slaughters and genocides of the indigenous Palestinians. Last year's Israel’s inhuman military attack on the defenseless civilian population in the Gaza Ghetto was fully supported by Obama Administration. Obama is never going to put a stop to Western hegemony over the world. He is only another face of imperialism. A warmonger like him can never be a man of peace. The Nobel committee has placed all its hopes on a bit of skin colour. But nobody should be surprised by such an act of The Nobel Committee. Previously, the committee saw fit to give a peace prize to Henry Kissinger, the architect of war and occupation of Vietnam who matches the definition of a war criminal very accurately. Kissinger "peacefully" bombed peasant villages in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, as Obama is fighting "Peace full" wars all over the world!
