On a funny note, maybe one of the voters is marching around the Nobel building with poster saying "where is my vote".

Obviously everybody here is

Obviously everybody here is surprised, like the rest of the world. It reminds me of the moment Arafat was awarded. This man represents the single biggest obstacle to Peace and he is using every tool possible to make sure that when he does attack, he does it from a morally high ground.

The reason for what I say is this. The US forces need to stay afloat. The US military industrial complex needs to stay in business. It won't happen if there is true peace. There is then a good reason from some people's point of view, for their to be war.

Obama will be the most innocent unlikeliest President in USA to start WWIII because of his background, and now he even has a Nobel Prize. But that is exactly why he has been put at this situation. The forces that will start the next war, will not want the leader of US to be a person with a personal vendetta or religious fanaticism that GWB had.

So the Seyyeds (apologies to all who disagree with my use of this word) will not be able to blame Obama for anything. Oh they want war, and perhaps they should have nominated Ahmadijenad, so that he would become converted to peace like Arafat. But no Obama has been sanctified by the "Holy Water of Nobel". Obama is one of the "Holier than Thou" folks!

So what we have is a person who can, at the right time turn around to tell the Seyyeds, "listen, I am Obama. The world loves me, and I am right when I decide to strangle you and bomb you if I want".

The stage is set for the world to kill. As an advocate of non-violence I am just too cynical for all this. I fear that there is something really fishy going on, and a lot of this is PR in advance of a major confrontation. Let us hope I am wrong and we have peace.

205 nominees were nominated for 2009 peace prize, largest ever.

We don't even know who the nominees were and yet we are all qualified to say something about Obama.

Here's the link to some of the 205 nominees:

//news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091009/wl_afp/nobelpeace_20091009084503

I couldn't find a list of all the names but 33 out of 205 were organizations and rest individuals.  BTW Iranians have not "accomplished" anything, have they?

Everything is sacred.

Mr. Mostofi

I see that you  are itching for US to invade Iran. I feel the gleeful anticipation in your writing for a day that US war planes attack innocent women and men in Iran.

Nobel peace prize means PEACE prize and not WAR Prize sir. 

-YT 

Iranian Women collectively

They would have been my nomination for the award.

Do not take me wrong, I am an avid supporter of President Obama, however he was awarded the honor more for what he has said so far rather than what he has done.

He did have the generosity to mention Neda on top of his list, for that I commend him.

-YT 

P/S Does any one have a link to Micheal Steels arajeef about the award?

If Obama "hasn't accomplished anything", who has n 2009? worthy?

Everything is sacred.

congratulations to Obama

although I agree with Mr. Ala.  This huge honor should be given to someone who has affected changes, not just proposed them.  As yet I don't see that he has actually accomplished anything to warrant the award.   But I have high hopes!!!

Red Wine jaan why so sour? What pawn? If we can't see the

Red Wine jaan why so sour? What pawn?  If we can't see the differences now we'll never see anything. He desrves it 100% and beyond.  He is leader of the free world.  Bush was also leader of the free world but compare the 2 and the differences.  If you can't, then you're truly unfair.  That's about all I can say.

I know for sure many in Iran, Ahmadi and his supporters will laugh at this prize but is it really laughable?  Do you want to be in the same camp as Ahmadi on this one?  If you do, then by all means be my guest. 

Everything is sacred.

LOL DK!

Thanks for the smile! 

You know I want the BESTEST leader for my country, not just someone who carries some other leaders' genes...  

but I think we've discussed that already :o)

I am glad you agree! Obama's speech was awesome.he can make a negative situation work for him. I hope some day I feel this proud of my Iranian president too!

I wish there was another blog about the Nobel prize for me to post the speech since I find the use of the word "seyyed" by Mr Mostofi very offensive... why not the ruling mullahs, the IRI or something more specific and less racist? I may never know.

but heck! sometimes you have to do with what you got, right?  ;-)

"Obama's Noble, A dark day for Republicans, Warmongers,

Israel's Likude party, Racists, Rightwingers, you go Hossein...Vouy Vouy, Hossein Vouy..." Hajagha stopped me.

"OK, I get it!" Said he trimming his nails against a rock.

Thanks Irandokht Jaan for Obama's Speach

Since he Hinted to Neda Then MY HATS OFF TO BARAK !

But I don't Congratulate the Nobel Commitee for I still think it is more of a poisonous gift to Obama But I guess he has to Live with it now !

I wish him Luck !

DK

I am hopeful

I loved Obama's speech where he hinted to Neda too. He's a great speaker and showed a lot of class and humility in his speech.

One positive outcome of Obama's peace prize is how it helped the Taliban and the Republican National Committee find common ground.

:o)

WRONG: I think it Really Pisses Off Obama ... (BBC)

US President Barack Obama has said he was "surprised and deeply humbled" to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, less than 10 months into his presidency.He continued  "To be Honest I don't Think I truly deserve this honor "... 

//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8299824.stm

THIS WAS A POISONED GIFT !

This pisses off all the hawks because...

it is forcing Obama's hands not to be confrontational like Bush was.

Red Wine, you have a good point

Dear Red Wine;

If you get a chance, go see Michael Moore's latest movie, "Capitalism".

This will give you a picture of what is happening and who might be pulling the strings.

I Bet Ben Laden is Having a HUGE LAUGH !

What will Obama do with Afghanistan ?

"So if the US does attack anyone, it would have been done in good judgement. We are led to believe anyway."

It could be argued that it is going to make it harder for US to attack. Afterall Obama is going to give the order.

Obama sanctions

Speaking of Obama's Nobel prize a commenter could not resist throwing in a bold-faced lie about nonexistent sanctions:

“did not lift the sanctions of basic needs such as medicine to countries such as Iran.”

Surprise!?

I guess if you are a U.S. President and have not started a new attack on the innocent people of other Countries you deserve a Peace Prize!?

Compared to the criminal moron who was here for the last 8 years, I guess Obama does deserve a prize for being a decent human being.

Many Americans don't even know what the "peace prize" REALLY is

Everything is sacred.

Congratulations.

The U.S.A. image was immensely tarnished during the Bush
administration.  President Obama has tried to promote understanding and cooperation among nations, but he was in the office for four months when he was nominated for this Award, hardly enough to gain international community's trust, especially when he ordered to increase the troops in Afghanistan by 40,000j and did not lift the sanctions of basic needs such as medicine to countries such as Iran.

The Award was given to him to seek peaceful solutions rather than war.
 If President Obama carries through his initiatives he campaigned for,
he well deserves the prize IMHO. One might say the prize should have been given to him when he accomplishes those goals, that is a fair argument, but maybe the Nobel committee wanted to encourage him in his endeavors.
