And the loser is...the Nobel committee, for abrogating its responsibility and settling for a politically safe decision. It's hard to believe that there were no better options - why, a second award for a group like MSF would have been so much better. To honour the leader of a nation that has always been interfering in the internal affairs of countries across the world is rather sad, to say the least - especially when his achievements are all still in rhetoric. And make no mistake, Obama's great intentions will only last as long as they are convenient to the USA. This year's award has set an unfortunate precedent - one that the Nobel committee itself will find hard to justify and sustain in future.
