Obama Accepts the Nobel Peace Prize

Alone With His Thoughts
The president faced a tricky task of reconciling the revered honor with his recent decision to send an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. He said, "I do not bring with me today a definitive solution to the problems of war. What I do know is that meeting these challenges will require the same vision, hard work and persistence of those men and women who acted so boldly decades ago. And it will require us to think in new ways about the notions of just war and the imperatives of a just peace."
