Reporter Asks Obama if Nobel Peace Prize Presents ‘Dilemma’ When Planning Syria Attack
“I was wondering,” the reporter began, “could you describe the dilemma to being a Nobel Peace Prize winner and getting ready to attack Syria?”

The president replied that, when he delivered the speech accepting that award in 2009, he made it clear that the use of force to safeguard peace is sometimes necessary:
“I think I started the speech by saying that compared to previous recipients I was certainly unworthy,” Obama began. “But what I also described is the challenge all of us face, when we believe in peace but we confront a world that is full of violence.”
The question then becomes what are our responsibilities. So, I’ve made every effort to end the war in Iraq, to wind down the war in Afghanistan, to strengthen our commitment to multilateral action, to promote diplomacy as a solution to problems. The question though, that all of us face — not just me – our citizens face, just as political leaders, is at what point do we need to confront actions that are violating our common humanity?”
Obama concluded by saying, in the face of the “senseless” deaths occurring in Syria, “the moral thing to do is not to do nothing.”

This guy creeps Me out. Blithely delivering the 1984 line, "War is Peace," while discussing His prize.
Yeah... Sometimes We need to go bomb and drone People to keep things peaceful - like that has worked 90% of the time We've been a nation, with only a very small number of years We have not been at war.
