congratulations mr. president

congratulations to our president for winning the noble peace prize. i was delighted to hear this news. somewhat surprised at some negativity surrounding this award. so many iranians i have met here have been congratulatory about this award. my understanding is that the award has been given for the “effort,” and obviously not the result. who knows, maybe president obama will be the only person in the world to receive two nobel peace prizes. one for the effort, and the other for the result. let’s pray for that.
