Nóbel de la Paz para Obama




El discurso completo en Building a World that "Gives Life to the Promise of Our Founding Documents"

Interesante es el artículo de la famosa Huffingtonpost, Obama Nobel Speech VIDEO: "Surprised And Deeply Humbled"

Cito el discurso (las negritas son mías): I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel Committee. Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.

Claro, no se trata de logros; sino que se premia la visión, lo dijo también el presidente del Comité dijo, en la conferencia de prensa en Oslo: le dan este premio "por su visión", que coincide -explicó- con el ideal de Alfred Nobel. Lo recalca en el párrafo siguiente.

To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

(...) These challenges can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. And that's why my administration has worked to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek. We cannot tolerate a world in which nuclear weapons spread to more nations and in which the terror of a nuclear holocaust endangers more people. And that's why we've begun to take concrete steps to pursue a world without nuclear weapons, because all nations have the right to pursue peaceful nuclear power, but all nations have the responsibility to demonstrate their peaceful intentions.

(...) We can't allow the differences between peoples to define the way that we see one another, and that's why we must pursue a new beginning among people of different faiths and races and religions; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect.

¡Totalmente de acuerdo!

And we must all do our part to resolve those conflicts that have caused so much pain and hardship over so many years, and that effort must include an unwavering commitment that finally realizes that the rights of all Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security in nations of their own.

We can't accept a world in which more people are denied opportunity and dignity that all people yearn for -- the ability to get an education and make a decent living; the security that you won't have to live in fear of disease or violence without hope for the future.

And even as we strive to seek a world in which conflicts are resolved peacefully and prosperity is widely shared, we have to confront the world as we know it today.

Ya se habla en la red del primer nobel "preventivo". No se trata de lo que hayas hecho por la paz sino de lo que hayas prometido.
Que Obama es bueno haciendo discursos ya lo sabíamos, ahora de ahi a los hechos hay no poco trecho.
Sobre todo en una persona que no ha dudado en pasar del Dalai Lama cuando ha estado en Washington. Todo para no enfadar a los chinos...

Ciertamente este Nobel concedido a Obama es eso: premio al wishful thinking, a la verborrea. En el mejor de los casos sería tributo al unilateralismo, pero creo que ya sabemos lo inútil y hasta contraproducente que puede resultar.

Saludos de vuelta, Martha!

Hola amigos!

bueno, yo más que verborrea, hablaría de expectativas, más en la línea de lo que dijo McCain :)

no sabía lo del Dalai Lama Juan... es verdad? Aquí la Merkel sí lo recibió y los chinos se enojaron mucho, como también el ministro Steini, que fue el rival de la Merkel en las últimas elecciones ;)

Muchos saludos a los tres!
