President Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, page 39

1,) Nuclear Non Proliferation as well as the recent cancellation of the Euro missile shield.

Nuclear non proliferation has been going on since Reagan. The recent buildup near the Russian boarder was just saber waggling against the Russians. (why I have no freaking clue.) But Nuclear non proliferation has been an American and Russian agenda ever since the end of the cold war. It continues to this day.

2.)Initiating dialog with Iran whereas Bush refused to even permit negotiating.

The reason is Israel. Obama unlike Bush refuses to play Israel's game. This administration agrees that Israel is a key ally in the world, but I don't think they are going to get the leeway they used to get under Bush.

3.) Recommending sanctions with Iran instead of the "Bomb Bomb Iran" rhetoric we heard from John McCain.

It's a smart move on Obama's part. Peaceful ideals and getting the world to go along with it is much better than unilateral moves that only isolate ourselves while giving our purposed enemy the ability to become the martyr in a globalist game of chess.

As far as Guantanamo, Iraq and Afghanistan, if you believe that Obama can merely wave a magic wand and change these situations without resistance from the GOP and Democrats alike in congress, then I have a bridge to sell you.

Gitmo is a very troublesome problem, here we have what is really a United States Concentration Camp, and to end this and move these people out of there is going to be a problem. For one, because we have determined them as "illegal enemy combatants", It makes it nearly impossible to prosecute them under international law. Furthermore, many of them have no home to return to, because their countries refuse to allow them in. They are for all intents and purposes people without a country at this point. We have the obligation to take care of these people. They have no else to go and obviously we cannot let them go here. So we are stuck between a rock and a hard place as far as Gitmo detainees go.

BTW, Wasn't it the Democratic congress that was supposed to end the war in Iraq ?

Oh that's right, just leave it to someone else. Thanks GOP. Here we have a war that we cannot just pull out of without starting a civil war in a country (which might not be a bad thing) and the democratic congress is supposed to end it. And of course it's Obama that is supposed to end it.

Afghanistan is itself another problem. Here we have not only a war without an effective withdraw policy, we also have a Haliburton natural gas pipeline construction project going on which the US won't acknowledge.
