President Obama has been busy since receiving his Nobel Peace prize. He has dramatically expanded the war in Afghanistan, continued the military presence in Iraq, meddled in the internal affairs of Libya using military might, violence, death and destruction as his means, has tried to deliberately murder Libya's leader by firing missiles into his son's home in a residential neighborhood - killing his son and three grandchildren - all without declaring war against this sovereign nation and has ordered the killing of Osama Bin Laden - seriously violating international law, basic human rights as well as the sovereignty of Pakistan while doing so. Compare his actions to those of his predecessors - Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mandela, Lech Walesa, Mother Teresa, and Albert Schweitzer.
Even the most ardent supporters of Obama's violent ways would have to admit the man does not embody the spirit of the award. As such he should return it.
