Dear Nobel Committee:

The president was "astonished," and I shocked and sickened to hear of your organization having awarded a Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama. I believe it is a matter of public record that Mr. Obama ordered the international embarrassment at Guantanamo closed, but as the late rock guitarist Frank Zappa wrote, "The torture never stops."

Out of Iraq by June 30? I'm quite sure I am oriented 3x, because the World Series approaches, and our troops have merely withdrawn from Iraqi cities to air-conditioned tents, where they are called out like policemen when a bomb or two threatens the supply of crude to British Petroleum.

In Afghanistan, the Commander in Chief has slowly surpassed his predecessor in realizing keeping the Taliban at bay involves more than a token effort and skilled EU commanders, one of whom probably deserved your prize. Over in Pakistan, we've seen a new round of BOOM-BOOM in the marketplace, at the police station, and psychotic U.N.-haters no doubt cheered at news of U.N. offices that are now "gone."

Iran was quick to voice suspicion of U.S. involvement in these bombings, so perhaps President Obama will order troops there, or they will deploy anyway, because he is a totally ineffective leader. Yet he won your prize with violence unabated in three Middle East nations, not to mention the usual Israel-Lebanon, Israel-Syria, and Israel-Egypt broken record.

At home, there is no peace in the stock market, money market, unemployment line, or welfare line. In Obama's America, we're all on the dole, and the president apparently intends to "dictate" our salaries. My name is Hughes, I've never flown an airplane, I've never made a motion picture, but I can write, and I have written to you to urge that you rescind this year's incomprehensible decision on the Nobel Peace Prize.

Sincerely,

William C. Hughes
