Through our nation's current military operations, drone strikes included, innocent civilians around the world are being killed. We elected President Obama in 2008 on a sentiment of change. This sentiment included a hope for a shift in the continuous state of conflict our nation utilizes in it's foreign policy. The Nobel Peace Prize was given in recognition of this hope and so far this administration has failed to live up to it. If President Obama is incapable of seeing that life is more precious than any seemingly pressing issue he is marring the ideal this award tries to promote, he is marring all those who have won it before him, and he is simply continuing to show the world that ours is a nation of violence and death. Nothing of worth costs the life of an innocent. Please stop killing.
