How far has the Nobel Peace Prize fallen. It has gone from a distinguished Canadian like Lester Pearson, who actually negotiated a peace settlement in the Suez Canal, to Barack Obama, who hasn't done anything relating to peace negotiations yet. The man has two wars going on, and he's just issued an ultimatum to Iran, a Muslim country. How's that for outreach to the Muslim world?

Pearson must be rolling in his grave.
