The Agony Of Being Obama

One of the most hilarious piece of news I heard of was that the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner President Barack Obama is getting his nobel (sarcasm) for sending more troops to Afghanistan!! What is really sad to see is that such columnists still don't know that this war was not started by Obama, and that he is sending in more backup only to try to end it soon and for good.
It was started nearly a decade back when four choppers were hi-jacked, and made to hit the tallest towwer of the world, a time when despair was fighting against hope, a time when thousands of innocnt Americans lost their lives, a time when the world economy took a bad tumble. It was started when Millions of American lives were taken for no fault of theirs. This war was started when Bush took a stupid and un-analysed action which till date, has failed to produce any formidable outcome and achieve any satisfactory goal. However, President Obama's announcement shows thta he is trying change all that, he is trying to give this war a new direction, a new meaning, a new goal, so that America and thousands of young Americans don't fight in the mountains of Afghanistan, just for the name-sake of fighting, but for the sake of defeating those barbaric butchers who rattled the world by setting new limits of crime and mis-demeanor. President Obama is only aiming to get those innocent Americans back home who fight day and night without a proper plan, or without any success, in a land where corruption is bliss and justice is denied. Mr. Obama, is trying to ensure that these brave and courageous warriors fight for a noble cause, a cause of peace, a cause of humanity, and this time by of fighting on the right side and in the right way i.e. not as a bully, (read President Bush) but as a ally and friend to the noble cause of peace, justice and humanity and everyone who believes in the same values and ideals.
And that is why I think that President Obama deserves this nobel more than anyone.
After all, if Sir. Alfred Bernard Nobel can be hailed for his creation of the Dynamite in order to stop a prolonged battle, can't President Obama be treated the same way for trying to do the same thing by sending more troops and ariving at a meaningful conclusion to this war against global terror?
