In reply to the discussion: Bradley Manning nominated for Nobel Peace Prize [View all]NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)"His nomination should cause this country to at least ask some questions as he did, about our foreign policy in general, policies the world views now with great fear. He at least restores some hope that not all Americans support those policies and in that process he makes this country look a little better in the eyes of the world."
If this nomination makes even a few more individuals in this country question the militaristic moves of the US, then it is worth it. But I stand behind my beliefs that Manning is in no way peace prize worthy. I would put the Sandy Hook children above him any day. There is a possibility, due to their deaths, that some form of legislation will be passed making our streets safer. So far Mannings contributions in this country, and abroad, are just about insignificant.
