But... did he meant Guantanamo torture, the murder of Osama, or the 61 people OTAN left to die in starvation, in the Mediterranean sea?

“Droned” nice

The boundaries between peace and appeasement are so blurred, I hope the Nobel Prize Committee can clearly distinguish the difference between them, and have never regretted the decision that day.

Its kind of sad being president. People keep thinking he has all the power to do whatever he wants but in reality he has almost the same power as the next guy except to him it seems more convenient to do so. I mean the fact that you can call an airstrike, send troops to hot spot, and etc. but you can't close down 1 freaking prison makes this system very constricting. And as a result people can just criticized you for so many things even though you are trying to hard to please them.

@mbenzsl2000 The people who run the committee today were not even born when Ghandi lived, it's not their fault that Ghandi was not endowed with a prize. Don't discredit Obama winning because Ghandi did not win, Ghandi didn't need a prize to be realized as a great man. He made his mark and am sure anybody who went to school knows who he is.

One of the best speeches!

surely helped set China on a path where millions of its citizens have been lifted from poverty and connected to open societies. Pope John Paul's engagement with Poland created space not just for the Catholic Church, but for labor leaders like Lech Walesa. Ronald Reagan's efforts on arms control and embrace of perestroika not only improved relations with the Soviet Union, but empowered dissidents throughout Eastern Europe. There's no simple formula here. But we must try as best we can to balance isolation and engagement, pressure and incentives, so that human rights and dignity are advanced over time. Third, a just peace includes not only civil and political rights -- it must encompass economic security and opportunity. For true peace is not just freedom from fear, but freedom from want. It is undoubtedly true that development rarely takes root without security; it is also true that security does not exist where human beings do not have access to enough food, or clean water, or the medicine and shelter they need to survive. It does not exist where children can't aspire to a decent education or a job that supports a family. The absence of hope can rot a society from within. And that's why helping farmers feed their own people -- or nations educate their children and care for the sick -- is not mere charity. It's also why the world must come together to confront climate change. There is little scientific dispute that if we do nothing, we will face more drought, more famine, more mass displacement -- all of which will fuel more conflict for decades. For this reason, it is not merely scientists and environmental activists who call for swift and forceful action -- it's military leaders in my own country and others who understand our common security hangs in the balance.
