Obama should thank Dubya

I think President Obama should send a thank-you note to George W. Bush for paving the way for his Nobel Peace Prize. Had Obama succeeded any other president, he would not be on anybody’s short list. But following the monumental inhumanity of Dubya, any person with even a shred of decency is considered a Peace Prize candidate.
This is the only way I can make sense of the decision to give Obama the prize – remembering who preceeded him.
