Here’s my take:

1. Weird.
2. Is this a pre-emptive strike by the Nobel committee to prevent escalation in Afghanastan?
3. I have trouble seeing how this helps world peace. If he goes all peacenik he’s seen as pandering to European pansies, even though an overwhelming majority of Americans gave him a mandate to make sane decisions. If he starts delivering on things like closing Gitmo, ending the war in Iraq, then he’s seen as pandering as opposed to delivering on a mandate.
4. I hope I’m wrong about #3.
5. They basically gave the award to the American electorate.
6. Weird.
