You said it right! The PEOPLE OF IRAN! If Iran is okay with it why should we do anything else but express our opinion? The only thing that Iran affects is oil prices. If you really want to meddle in another countries affair then meddle in a country that really affects the sovereignity and security of the USA! And that nation is Mexico! Mexico needs our help right now and does anyone give a sh!t? No because Mexico does not affect oil prices! FRIGGIN MORONS!

France in the American Revolutionary War

Up against the British power, the young United States lacked arms and allies, and so turned naturally towards France. After the prodding of Benjamin Franklin, France, which had no direct interest in the conflict, nevertheless engaged herself first in the covert support of the American war, then in open war from February 5 1778, which placed her almost alone against the Royal Navy.

with you thinking, the germans would control the world under Hitler...however some brave Americans had something to say about that....you would not have been one of them I guess.

MORON.

Hey Right Wing, the American Revolution began as a war between Britain and the colonies and then became a global war between several European great powers but that wasn't about us it was about them wanted to take land from eachother. Hello! Can you say Canada? Can you say the land later known as the Louisiana purchase? Hello! Is anybody there? Did you really believe that France entered the war because of benevolence and to help the colonist? On what planet do you spend most of your time on? Same for WWII! We only went to war against Germany because they were allied with with Japan and Japan attacked us! Can you say Pearl Harbor? Uh, were you born stupid or did it come from watching the FOX channel?

2006 UNEMPLOYMENT AT 4.5% AND THE DEMS TAKE FULL CONTROL OF CONGRESS MAKING BUSH A LAME DUCK.

2008 UNEMPLOYMENT AT 6.5% WITH CONGRESS IN CHARGE.

2009 UNEMPLOYMENT AT 9.8% WITH OBAMA HAVING A SUPER MAJORITY AND ABLE TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS OVER NIGHT.

I agree Abigail and although the majority of morons responding here dont believe it the paradigm shift occurring because Barack Hussein Obama is president of the United States will serve to put this country back to where it was as a leader in the world encouraging by example (not forcing by war) the idea that all people are worthy and valued.

Clearly, the committee should not have even considered Obama let alone nominate and subsequently award him. The charter is expressly clear on the candidates “accomplishments” for the award which reads:

one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics; one part to the person who shall have made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.

“Who shall have made…”

Is there any further discussion?

Obama, having only held the office of the President less than two weeks when nominations were closed, accomplished nothing. Furthermore, his accomplishments to this day are nil. That is unless you consider the continued destruction of American’s freedom and liberty a Nobel achievement.

I'm already seeing training and green jobs becoming available to the unemployed around me so he is making progress.
