Left and right, pundits applaud Obama Nobel Peace Prize speech
Is this speech the best explanation for war ever presented? I say yes......Why, because Obama plainly state to the world, that America do indeed have an international role for global security and like many of you know, also greatly profit from that responsibility ( see Iraq War )
My question is this.............Why did America take on that role?
Excerpts:
"But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by their examples alone. I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people. For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world. A nonviolent movement could not have halted Hitlers armies. Negotiations cannot convince al-Qaidas leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force is sometimes necessary is not a call to cynicism — it is a recognition of history, the imperfections of man and the limits of reason."
"The United States of America has helped underwrite global security for more than six decades with the blood of our citizens and the strength of our arms. The service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform has promoted peace and prosperity from Germany to Korea, and enabled democracy to take hold in places like the Balkans. We have borne this burden not because we seek to impose our will. We have done so out of enlightened self-interest — because we seek a better future for our children and grandchildren, and we believe that their lives will be better if other people's children and grandchildren can live in freedom and prosperity"

Our Leader President Baraka Hussein Obama is History, He is in the drivers seat. He coughs and the world has a cold.
He was elected USA President because he could Communicate BETTER than anyone in America could about what is the Purpose of Secular Democratic societies.
and questions like: What is America?---What is Constitution?-What is Understanding?--What is Secular?
He received the Nobel Prize proudly because -- He can Communicate better than any European the questions; the Purpose of Secular Democracy?-The Reason for Europe. What is War? What is the proper way of interaction with those that do not look or think like you?
We are living in the age of Understanding, Ideals and philosophy have been thrown around europeanHistory for so long--but President Obama is the Change that europe needs, that christianity needs, that America needs-that Democracy needs to survie.
To Change a bad experiment or the wrong experiment; the Scientist or Scholar must, some or many times, have to destroy the failed experiment or useless experiment and start again, differently.
He said; "Evolution of Human Institutions-- Heirs of Generations Past----Instruments of War have a place in Peace----Fear of Race and Tribe Loss----"
Oh Boy, this Is the Change That I have been waiting For.
Thank you President Obama for your Courage.
