Nobel Barış Ödülü AB´ye verildi.

If they gave EU a prize, I guess a disaster in Erope will happen soon

I wonder when they will give Bush a nobel peace prize.

I know the most recommendable style in this site is denying the value of everything. Like the value of 60 years of peace on the continent as well as whole generations being raised with no fear of bloodshed. EU had a great role both in the reconstruction after WW II and in the peaceful end of cold war.

Sorry but this is important for me.

My attempt to translate Beyinsiz´s tweet:

AB Nobel Barış Ödülünü sonuna kadar hak ediyor. Adamlar Srebrenica Filistin ve pek çok yerde katliamlar olurken bile kavgadan uzak durdular.

But that´s also true - wars in former Yugoslavia could last for such a long time in 90´s, in the face of whole Europe; and nobody could do anything about this.

Let´s just take a hundred years back in time. All the wars and oppression were still to come. I have lived with people who had to go through it all and the wounds were long lasting. Still it feels now like it must have happened a very long time ago.

In my opinion European Union deserves to be praised for its acchievements especially at present when the economical crisis has taken all our attention. The Nobel prize reminds us what the Union was originally created for.

In my opinion, two things in present day Europe may put its reputation as a peace maker in danger:

1. EU countries officially exported weapons for the worth of 31,7 milliard euros in 2010. Probably the number is much bigger because the countries have not reached an agreement on how this trade should be reported.

2. EU does not represent a common voice. A European citizen has not been born. Instead, national interests are playing a more and more important role in common decisions. The rich north is blaiming the poor south of something and vice versa. EU has not been able to keep the extreme right and ultranationalist forces under control.

tomac, your share of the prize is 0,23 cents.

Racism is a big problem in Europe. And EU is still a christian club.
