It is rather precocious of the committee to award a head of state who has been in office for less than a month, and whose contributions to international peace relations prior to his inauguration were less than noteworthy. While Obama’s rhetoric is clearly and positively embracing peace, his actual actions are, at the moment, falling short of expectations, especially in the case of Guantanamo. More importantly, there is ample room for escalation of his foreign policy when it comes to Afghanistan. Considering the US are seemingly in a political quagmire there, the Nobel Committee might look extremely foolish in a couple of years time, when it becomes clear that Obama’s rhetoric and diplomacy are a lot bloodier than they are currently purported to be. This is all speculation, of course, but a nomination in a few years’ time might have been more appropriate. Until then, I solemnly hope Obama’s policies will prove my doubts wrong.
