Any patriotic American will see this for what it is …

an acknowledgement that Mr. Obama has put the US back on a track to moral leadership of the world.

NOW

Americans, including the loyal opposition (if such exists) should join behind this leader in working toward peace.

Surely this does not mean agreeing with Mr. Obama. Some of the real loyal opposition, those on the left, have every reason to argue for a more isolationist point f view. The patriotic neocons (and they DO exist) should be making their case as well.

BUT .. the stink that arose immediately from the Radical Right Remnant should be placed in the trashbin of of American self hate alongside Jane Fonda’s worst Vietnam speaches. Charles Limburg’s paens to Hitler, and Jo McCarthy.

Is this too early an award? The Norwegians have a long tradition of giving the Peace prize to encourage effort, not merely to recognize it after it has happened. Lech Walessa and Andrei Sakharov won their prizes before anyone believed their efforts could come t pass. Burma remains Burma with its Nobelist in jail.

How it can it be too early for the world to join together to promote peace?"
