A Decadent Nobel
A prize for soft moralism.
So Donald Rumsfeld was right about Old Europe.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has taken it in the neck for awarding this year s Peace Prize to a nine-month old
American presidency.
There s been much mockery of pencil-necked Norwegian academics in faraway Oslo.
This is
unfair.
The committee said it chose Barack Obama for his "vision of .
.
.
a world without nuclear weapons" and for "meeting
the great climatic challenges the world is confronting.
" I d say that completes the argument over old and new Europe.
This is a Nobel of decadence.
