HEARD
AROUND THE
WORLD

    So soon? He has not yet made a
    real input. He is proposing...but he
    still has to do it all Lech Walesa | 1983 PEACE PRIZE WINNER, FORMER POLISH PREZ, FOUNDER OF SOLIDARITY
Why should he get a peace prize while US has the largest N-arsenal on earth and his soldiers shed innocent blood in Iraq and Afghanistan? Issam al-Khazraji | A LABOURER IN BAGHDAD
I thought the only thing you won for making empty speeches about world peace was Miss World

  • In the US the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, asked a simple question: "What has President Obama actually accomplished?"
  • Attributing Mr Obama's win to his "star power", Mr Steele said it was "unfortunate" he "outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights".
  • Iran's foreign minister said the decision to give the award was taken too "hastily".
  • "A good timing for the award would be when US troops have pulled out of Afghanistan and Iraq and the United States is standing up for the rights of the Palestinian people," Manouchehr Mottaki told the Mehr news agency.
  • But he said that if winning the prize encouraged the US president to reject the "warmongering" policies of previous administrations, Iran had no opposition to it.  
What should we conclude out of this? Has the Nobel Comitte  got something to proove here???Is the jury at fault??Or was it all about the publicity that Mr.Obama manouvred to get through media?

Asked why the prize had been awarded to Mr Obama less than a year after he took office, Nobel Committee head Thorbjoern Jagland said: "It was because we would like to support what he is trying to achieve". If this is so there are numerous silent unsung heroes in India who are trying their level best to getrid of several social woes
without getting sufficent support and proper media attention. What about them???
