President Obama made the smart decision to confront the dual conundrums of his Nobel Peace prize head-on at the start of his stirring address accepting the award. First, there was the uncomfortable fact that the president hasn’t actually done much, if anything, to deserve the award other than win an election and make nice speeches. Second, there was the even more uncomfortable fact that the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize is not only, as he said, “the commander in chief of a nation in the midst of two wars,” but one who just decided to deploy tens of thousands more troops.
