I cannot disagree, but think it is a recognition by the committee that, at least, this country is not continuing our warmongering attitude.
Also, it may give an indication of how difficult it is to find any world leaders, or other notables that are doing anything constructive toward world peace.
A little over a year ago the US was talking about nuking Iran and had alienated Europe, Russia and the Muslim world. The US was also actively promoting torture, on a global basis. Obama was ridiculed by Clinton and others for being willing to talk to Iran. The far-right rhetoric dominated the conversation, nationally. Even the Dems bought into Bush's foreign policy, if only because they were afraid to look weak.
Not only is Obama not Bush (a huge step for peace), he also defeated McCain-Palin. McCain was not only singing bomb-bomb-Iran, he also wanted to go to war with Russia over Georgia.
