No-Be-L Prize

Of course everyone is aware of the infamous Nobel prize, given to the topmost achievement in different fields except mathematics. I always thought that it is a very serious business and I was proved wrong when they announced Nobel peace prize for Barrack Obama, the current president of the United States. I started to wonder whether a new Nobel prize has been introduced by the Royal Academy of Swiss for the outstanding achievement in giving speeches and fundas. I then clarified my doubt by glancing various newspapers, wikipedia etc., that it was indeed a Peace Nobel. I also came across a statement that he has got the award for "Not being another George Bush". Well, with my limited knowledge on what has been happening after Obama became a president, I can say that he does not appear any different from G.Bush except for giving making better speeches. I still see protesters in Iraq holding "GO BACK, U.S ARMY". I still hear about Pakistan getting military funding from U.S. I still get news reports on various military operations initiated by the U.S govt. So, how is it any different from steps taken during Bush government?

When U.S sanctioned a huge sum of military fund to Pakistan very recently, Obama made a statement that "Pakistan should not make use of this fund for terrorism against India". When he makes such statements, will Pakistan REALLY stop funding terrorist activities? Suppose such a thing happens, lets say, then Is Obama some (dont know what to fill) BETTER than GOD? Because those who have initiated and cultivated terrorism never listen to what GOD has said in Quran. Hmmm I at least hope that this is true so that terrorist activities stop receiving encouragement.

I also feel that if there are no eligible candidates for the award, it should wait for the deserved person and not giving it to somebody ANYWAY. This whole issue reminds me of Karnataka Chief Minister B.S Yadiyurappa getting honorary Ph.D from an European university.

When we are in the Nobel Prize discussion, let me also add that lot of appraisals were received when Dr. Venkataraman Ramakrishan was awarded Nobel prize in chemistry. There were a lot of statements from his villagers and teachers that "We knew he will win the Nobel Prize one day". This is a really strong statement to make and I do not understand why people cannot make honest opinions.
