One of the ironies of the surprise announcement of Barack Obama getting the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, the third Liberal Democrat from America to be so honored in recent years (Jimmy Carter and Al Gore preceded him) is that as much as the European Left reviled the Bush administration's "If you're not with us, you're against us," THAT'S exactly the same message the Nobel Prize Committee consistently sends America...and THIS is just the latest example!
They do that by rewarding those that embrace Euro-Liberalism's appeasement, while ignoring the many successes of those who made life better for others by taking the exact opposite path.
Funny stuff.
When the Bush administration tells Europe, "If you're not with us, you're against us," that's bad, but when the Nobel Committee pretty much tells America the same thing, that's just fine!
