It saddens me to say that there are so much hate in this world for our fellow mankind..if we can only learn to step into each others' shoes..and see the miles we've walked..

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2009

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons. Read more:

I was fortunate to experience the preparation of the Nobel Peace Prize Award in the City of Oslo days before 10 Dec 09; to know and experience that many past Nobel Peace Prize Winners were in the same location as where I stood is historically exhilarating and humbling. Police and Barricades were mounted up in preparation. I hear many visitors and locals speak out his name across the streets and local transportation. The city as well as the many international visitors welcomed the president and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

I was just lucky to experience this...no matter who the nobel peace prize winner was when I visited, I'd still make this video for that person...it's a lifetime experience just to be there..

Since Obama has been awarded, the nobel peace prize has lost its value and become a symbol of supporting crimes and wars. There is no such thing like necessary violence, even Gandhi and Martin Luther King could move and influence the world with their peaceful movements. There is no greater embarassment and humiliation as to put Obama on the same level as them ~

they shut down sevral roads, had a flying prohibiton with a 78 km radius above Oslo, and they had a serious amount of weapons everywhere and yeah the had set up small military basese outside Oslo on different farms armed with missiles etc. they used aporxamtely 120 million kr on the safety which is about 20 million dollars or something...
