I have just shown that the concerns you listed earlier were not based upon fact (at least, not the facts you gave). As you have not given any follow-up facts, I assume your concern is based upon some sort of intuition. Something akin to a knee-jerk reaction, likely due to your political sensibilities. As political sensibilities are largely based upon intuition themselves, you are essentially asking me to argue with a mental flourish that you experience. As I have a different mental flourish on this matter, and as we have apparently moved past discussing the facts, I am not capable of clearing up your concerns.

What?     Modified:  Apparently nobel prize awards are based on intuition from mental flourish.  You haven't offered reasons that the NBP committee would determine that Obama clearly floats to the top of candidates.   If you are needing a direct statement that I don't know all the facts - You are correct.  Now it is your turn, give us the reasons why Barak Obama stands out from the other candidates.

I don't pretend to know why he was selected. It surprised me. To be honest, I don't really know any of the persons he was 'running' against. It's a very secretive process.

I simply celebrate that an American won, and what it implies about the atmosphere of the world.

IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN!  Mother Teresa won it in 1979 and that winch didn't do anything for humanity or world peace either, at least not as much as BO has.

Ok, cber, that's garbage.  Muslims attack this country 6 times under Clinton.  They hated us long before Bush was even elected.

You've obviously never been to mosque before.

cberman, I've been to the middle east.  I've been to muslim countries in asia.  On a whole they do not like the U.S.  And it was not Bush that turned them against us.  It was our long time support for Isreal.  That is their biggest gripe against us.

Every time I see BO on TV, I still stare in total disbelief. He reminds me of some of the guys I went to college with, well trained to shout uninformed opinions (like his empty claim about the new bill not affecting the deficit) because they're in the think-tank.

But then, similarly, that's probably why BO is so good at sounding like he knows what he's talking about so far: he's been immersed in that world so much that he probably believes it's real.

And yes Muslims are fundamentally convert-or-die. In a manner of speaking so is Christianity, and I can't believe I should ever hear from a Christian about the capacity for "peace on Earth" without agreement about who God is.
