    I meant it as a thing of respect. French bashing actually goes back to the eighties, when they refused to support us, when we bombed Tripoli.


    WTF?

    I recently learned, while studying for exam, that USA were selling fuel to Mussolini at the beginning of WWII in N. Africa and to Franco during Spanish civil war.

    Business. That's what World War 2 was for USA.


  3. Well, at least you and I managed to agree in the Muse topic.


  4. My apologies, not intented that way
  5. Has Obama actually achieved anything to win The Nobel Peace Prize?


  6. Interesting huh? Can they take back the price when he starts attacking a 'terrorist country'?


  7. Now you're asking the right kind of question
  8. i hate to say it ,but I can't think of one substantial thing Obama has accomplished. I supported him in the election, and still would over McCain, but I am quite disappointed. Gitmo is still open. We are still in Iraq with no end in sight. He is currently considering sending more troops into Afghanistan. Health care has been a disaster. The economy is showing signs of life, but unemployment keeps growing. I have not heard him say a word about the environment. The president needs to stop trying to make those who did not vote for him (and never would) like him, and start working for the people who elected him. It's not too late, but this is NOT the change I voted for.
  9. Well its to early to judge his performances. I would support the Nobel Prize if he got his AFTER his presidentship. There are so much things going on its completely ridiculous to award a huge price like that now.

    Lets just hope he starts acting like a Nobel Prize winner.
  10. From MSNBC

    OSLO, Norway - President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a stunning decision designed to encourage his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.

    So he got it for not being George Bush?
  11. I thought those prizes were awarded for results, not attempts or efforts. Obama has not shown any results so far.
