Howard Meyer: Obama doesn't deserve a Nobel Prize given his stance on international law

The award to President Obama is seriously questionable if one remembers what the NYTIMES disclosed in publishing a letter 7 December 2007, properly titled"International Law Matters, that candidate Obama, promised to hunt down bin Laden in Pakistan"without Pakistani permission if necessary."

That prompted an international scholar here to ask,"What about international law?" He referred to the UNCharter's outlawry of such actions"without Security Council Authorization"

In that letter Professor Schlesinger asked 'Does the notion that Mr Obama is a good-guy liberal make it OK to violate internationl law?" This was never satisfactorily answered, by Obama or his faithful.

The grave doubt that reflects will render the Nobel Award a cruel joke unless in his acceptance remarks our President plainly supports the U N Charter's barriers to unauthorized war. Howard N Meyer
