That's right - he breaks a campaign promise to end the war(s) .. and
they give him a Nobel Peace Prize.
What am I missing here? |

Not much I don't think. This has to go into the "What were they thinking?"
dep't.
Is Europe that out of touch with North America? Will we ever know what
went on under the table / behind the scenes?

Not if you've studied history.
*Winson S. Churchill's Lesson of History*
(Pay close attention to numbers 4, 5 and 6)
1. Despite the importance of doing so, we do not learn from history.
2. Science and technology cannot immunize us from history's lessons.
3. Freedom, which Americans believe is longed for by people
worldwide, is not a globally shared value. By contrast, desire for
power, whether wielded as a despot, or as a benevolent empire or
superpower, is a universal value.
4. Known as the cradle of civilization, the Middle East has also been
the graveyard of empires, no matter what their intention, as the
Romans and so many others have learned.
5. America will experience the same ultimate destiny as the memorable
democracies, republics, and superpowers of the past.
6. Religion and spirituality—and the lust for power—are the most
profound motivators in history.
7. Nations and empires rise and fall not because of anonymous social
and economic forces but because of decisions made by individuals.
8. A true statesman possesses four qualities: a bedrock of
principles, a moral compass, a vision, and the ability to build
consensus to achieve that vision. |
