nezua:warispeace:Congratulations to Liu Xiaobo. The Nobel Committee stepped it up this year giving it to a man who truly exhibits human empathy at the highest form. If only the Chinese government could recognize the beautiful work he has done for its people. Yes, you can see why Obama and he both received the same award. I…think.Hehe, I had a similar reaction to the award. On the one hand, I’m actually quite elated, because I like this guy. Then again, it just makes me chuckle at Western liberalism. Who gets the Nobel Peace Prize in the US? Al Gore. Barack Obama. People who occupy the highest offices. But when it comes to awarding this honor to a Chinese guy? A dissident. You might compare it to awarding the prize to Leonard Peltier or Mumia Abu-Jamal, who remain imprisoned in the US. Wouldn’t happen. -- source link
