America the Ironic

President Barack H. Obama was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.

Now, he may order his military to attack another nation-- Not because that nation attached America. Not because that nation attacked an ally of America.

But because that nation attacked its own people.

President Obama may order this attack without any fig leaf of international authority.

Which very well may make this president the second recipient of a Nobel Peace Prize to commit a war crime.

(The first was another American: Henry Kissinger.)
