US President Barack Obama deserves congratulations for being awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, the most prestigious prize in the world.
Obama has responded to the award terming it a “call to action’. It means one year’s time of his presidentship is not enough for evaluation; however, the prize can morally guide the president. The Nobel Peace Prize committee itself has admitted that the prize would encourage the president to act better and more boldly for promoting international peace diplomacy.
The most surprising thing in American history was the election of the :first-ever African-American President . Another surprise is the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to him in 11 months of his election to the Whitehouse.
Since Obama is from the discriminated community, the world expects from him cooperation and co-work for international peace. The world wants to see his influence in changing the belligerent and bullying US foreign policy.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world has witnessed US invasion of several nations. Obama had better learn from this serious drawback of the Whitehouse rituals.
The way the US Administration behaves developing nations shows a relationship of owner and slave. Contrary to this, the world wants to see the creation of dignified nations, small or big. Let the developing countries be not beggars but partners of the Superpower.
The Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Obama is not for maintaining US belligerence. It has a serious implication: work for friendship and peace and for equal human dignity. Thus, Obama does have the potential to be productive and proactive differently. Without being different from his war-mongering predecessors, without stopping the invasion of other sovereign nations even in this 21st century, he would not prove the worth of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Best wishes for the successful implementation of the prize.
