(82,383 posts)Is for those who never ever use military force? What kind of national leader could possibly do so, except for a very lucky one, during whose tenure no unfortunate events occurred anywhere in the world?
Are you stating that to deserve the peace prize, Obama, as President, should never ever use our military force in any situation? Are you absolutely sure we would be completely safe if we did absolutely nothing anywhere in the world?
And is this not a sympathetic cause? When the Arab Spring first started, in Egypt, DU was full of posts condemning Obama for not sending the troops to help those seeking freedom immediately, even though they were tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I'm starting to see a theme here. Obama is wrong no matter what. If he were doing nothing, if not yourself, some DUer would be posting about how awful Obama was for letting Assad kill his people and not helping.
