Nobel Panel Defends Obama Peace Prize Decision - Political News - FOXNews.com

Nobel Panel Defends Obama Peace Prize Decision - Political News - FOXNews.com: "Jagland singled out Obama's efforts to heal the divide between the West and the Muslim world and scale down a Bush-era proposal for an anti-missile shield in Europe.

'All these things have contributed to -- I wouldn't say a safer world -- but a world with less tension,'"

"The left-leaning committee whose members are appointed by the Norwegian Parliament lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama's calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease U.S. conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen the country's role in combating climate change."
