President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.

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.
