OBAMA EARNS HIS NOBEL PRIZE

When Barrack Obama received the Nobel Prize for peace immediately after he was elected the Prsident , I was not much impressed. I thought it was a bit premature to have honoured him when he did not actually deserve it. Of course , the person is amiable . His manners are graceful. But that is not the only criterion for honoring him. Later events show that Obama has been slowly and surely effecting  a paradigmatic change in the attitude of his country towards the other countries of the world. What provoked me to pen these lines is the opening of  USA to CUBA after such long years of suspicion and mistrust . A sea-change indeed !  Iran is no longer a pariah . USA is very careful  now and  very hesitant to interfere with the affairs of other countries ! Fools rush in where angels fear to tread !A good sign ! Mature politics ! A president who wants peace , some one different from those belligerent men who occupied the exalted position earlier .

And now he deserves his Nobel Price for peace.

Hats off to him.
