Looks like barely one year after taking office Obama has been awarded the peace nobel prize, because of “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples” according to the Nobel Committee. There were 205 nominations, with Zimbabwe’s prime Minister and a Chinese dissident being among the favourites.
