Recently, one of the world most prestiged recognition for Peace Worker has announced its 2009 recipients. Another American President! For the past 10 years, this Nobel Peace awards has been conferred to 3 American top politicians (ex-president & vice-president); namely Jimmy Carter, Al Gore & Barack Obama. A country that possessed the most number of Nuclear Warheads in the world and having most soldiers invading other countries social security and welfare in the name of 'peace'. Has the world seen more peace after the American acted as the 'world policeman' to maintain peace and ensuring human rights by unilaterally intervening other countries welfare? Even in the event when UN has clearly opposing their action!? Or has the world seen more chaos and warfare with their interference?!
I am not sure what criteria the Nobel Peace Foundation Commitee actually looking at when they decide on the Nobel Prize laurate. Are they giving this prize to someone who has actually contirbuted towards world peace? Or are they conferring this prize to someone has merely promised to bring peace to the world?!
I heard a news while driving to work today, the American President (the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laurate) has ordered to send another troops of thousands of soldiers to Afganistan for 'peace-keeping'... Peace is not kept through weapons! It is clear from the history we see. Don’t he get it?!
Peace can only be fostered through thorough education and cultural exchange that promote inter-culture, inter-racial, inter-ethnic, inter-religion and international understanding.
