Making Obama More Effective in Achieving Peace

I thought this reaction to the Peace Prize was on target:

The award is premature," said Eugene Rogan, director of the Middle East
Center at Oxford University in England. "He hasn't done anything yet. But he's
made clear from the start of his presidency his commitment to promote peace. No
doubt the Nobel committee hopes the award will enhance his moral authority to
advance the cause of peace while he's still president."
