Philippe,
  On behalf of all America I accept your congratulation. Although if nothing
else I've learned from the OM List, we Americans are somewhat deficient in
irony detectors (among other things I'm sure).
  The main difference between the Nobel Peace Prize and all other Nobel
Prizes, the time gap between the award and the accomplishment is usually in
the 10-20 year range. Not so for the peace prize. President Obama may have
started us on the path to a more peaceful world but we won't really know for
a few years. Same for Jimmy Carter; he was awarded the Prize as well but in
the end nothing really came of his efforts.
